About the artist
Unknown - "My Love" b/w "Don't Cry My Soldier Boy" (King Records 45-5597, 1962); the flip written by Phillips and Simms with lead vocals credited to Shirlee Brooks. 45cat classifies the act as a 1960s girl group. NOT Tommy James and the Shondells - the title is absent from that documented discography. [Source: Discogs; 45cat]
