    Originally released on Reveille, this is a good girl group record with
    both sides written by Richard Berry. I assume he was involved with the session. I just sold a copy on Dot for $80. Never knew the record before this.

    The fast side is a Ray Charles "You Be My Baby" style thing that also
    sounds like "A Fool In Love" by Ike & Tina.

    I figured you did not know it as I could not see the fast side not being
    on your 1961 list if you knew it.

    Here is what John said:

    Yikes! How did I miss this!? LOL! Actually, I have it listed under
    The Swans. This is Dorothy Berry and her two sisters Charlotte and
    Barbara.

    The "Just A Little Bit More" side is really growing on me and may just
    make
    the 1961 list when I get to posting it on here

    ----------
    Steve Propes doesn't agree with Clemente about Dorothy Berry's sisters.
    He says it was Fanita Barrett of the Blossoms backing up Dorothy.
    However, he also says the Reveille record came out in 1962.
