Feelings

Utah local private press album from Ron Simpson's Sound Column Productions. I believe Alan Marsden was a local '70s TV personality and product pitch man. He has a thin, moderately high "head" voice. Newspaper accounts point to him periodically performing concerts at LDS churches in towns north of Salt Lake City, in the Farmington area. He affects an "English" accent on "Pass Me By," which I think he picked up from a 1965 King Family Album track, and the other songs, all covers, come via A/C artists of the period, the Lettermen, Barry Manilow, Charlie Rich, Barbara Streisand, Ray Price, and that Morris Alpert hit. Marsden changes the lyrics on his reading of "For The Good Times," changing "...lay your head upon my shoulder, hold your warm and tender body close to mine..." to "...hold your warm and tender face close to mine...."
