About the artist
Unknown - "August 1968" b/w "Kelsey" was issued on Twin Record Productions / World Of Hits (TRG 23, 1969), a North Miami, Florida label owned by Bill Stith, who produced the record with arranger Bud Reneau; Agee wrote both sides (Elkee Music, BMI). No biographical information about the performer could be found, and nothing connects him to the later children's-book author and illustrator Jon Agee (b. 1960), whose career postdates the record.
