The illustrious Fortunes formed as a vocal trio and released their first single in 1963 a cover of The Jamies quot;Summertime Summertimequot; backed with quot;I Love Her Stillquot. It flopped and they expanded to a five piece. Their next single quot;Carolinequot; may not have been a chart suc-cess but was fondly loved as the theme song to Britain s first infa-mous pirate radio station Radio Caroline. Trying once again the lads released an excellent Mersey-influenced two sider quot;Come On Girlquot;/quot;I Like The Look Of Youquot;and then another quot;Look Homeward Angelquot. Despite the fantastic sounds coming out of the grooves still no chart action for The Fortunes. This came with their next 45 Greenaway & Cook s innovative quot;You ve Got Your Troublesquot; which reached the Top 5 in the UK and Top 10 in the US. An album was released to capitalize on the sudden success with readings of current hits by others like quot;Looking Through The Eyes of Lovequot; and quot;All Cried Outquot; as well as top notch originals penned by outside writers - see quot;Won t You Give Him (One More Chance)quot; and quot;Laughing Fit To Cryquot; for examples of tracks that could have easily been A-Sides for the guys. The bulk of the album can be found on this disc. The album also included their next hit quot;Here It Comes Againquot. quot;This Golden Ringquot; followed the same formula and found favour with UK buyers.
