Ronnie sez: Although "Here Comes The Boy" was not Tracey Dey's biggest chart record, this is the one that, based on emails I've received and comments I've read on music forums, most of her remember and love the best. The song was written by Eddie Rambeau and Bud Rehak and it's a quintessential example of the happy girl-group sound of the 60's.
Okay, Tracey's not a "girl group" but she might as well be on this recording: it's incredibly catchy. And I must add that the producer of this vinyl treasure was none other than the genius himself, the great Bob Crewe. "Here Comes The Boy" is an absolute killer song!
It is, in fact, the one that she singled out as her personal favorite among the 14 that I played. And it's my personal favorite as well. -- Ronnie
