    I've never seen the record nor was ever asked for it at our store but I
    see it seems to regularly fetch this kind of money---I note it went for
    $55 in an auction from 4 years ago.

    We can however agree on your description of it :-)

    Jersey. ;)
    Definitely a nice label design, though. Must have been bought by an art collector.

    The label had hits, including many by Ronnie Dove.

    I never heard of Ronnie Dove until I started playing the GOLQ's. I was
    stunned to see how many charted hits he had. Never even heard of him.
    It is a him, right?

    Ronnie Dove was for people who couldn't take the ragged harshness of
    Johnny Tillotson.

    LOL, he was for the REALLY White crowd.

    He had 11 top forty hits, but never went top ten. His two biggest
    records each peaked at #14. That's the only interesting fact I've found
    about Ronnie Dove.

    He did go top 10 for one week in Cash Box as "One Kiss For Old Times
    Sake" hit #9 there, but then immediately dropped to #24 the following
    week. I guess some people who never heard of him finally heard that when
    it was top 10 and hated it.

    I liked him!!!

    Of course you did. You like all of those white pussy boys.

    commercial smooch for 1960s teen girls (& for some young men it seems)
    Kiss Away
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miZqwQ5O9Ho

    early 60s teen pop often featured lush, orchestral arrangements that
    were designed to appeal to a young, *predominantly female* audience.
    These arrangements could sometimes overshadow the raw energy of
    rock 'n' roll (that would appeal to males), making the music more
    polished and sentimental

    the following pleasant enough foot-tapper record by Ronnie Dove, is
    in a similar vein but with the orchestra being, thankfully, less prominent/intrusive:

    Hello Pretty Girl (Live on Dick Clark's American Bandstand) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIZLXhC8Xw0

    "Got a Little Bit of Heaven" was popular down here as well!!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQwBL7AKLoE
    (could be actively disliked within some senior citizen circles :)

    I liked him!!! {his 1964+ period}

    You're being a tad brave here, Dennis :-)

    Anyway, for Dennis, and many others beyond this newsgroup:
    an existing playlist on YouTube

    Now, let's go back and experience rockin' Ronnie Dove before 1964:

    Geoff likes Ronnie's debut A-side from 1959:

    Ronnie Dove & The Bell-Tones {Baltimore} - Lover Boy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2GVT90r3dI

    the B-side - I'll Be Around [Dove]
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYOC2FXQBkw

    Next, in '61, Ronnie Dove & The Beltones - Party Doll [Decca] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdIrIyNkAn4
    The B-side was a re-recording of their earlier Dove single side,
    I'll Be Around, retitled Yes Darling I'll Be Around.

    from the group's 3rd and final release in '62, with a gutsy vocal,
    chiming piano, and a sax break:

    Anybody who starts "Long Tall Sally" with a musical intro before they
    start singing is a complete asshole.

    It's actually an improvement on the original black gay version!
