Album Review

This two-fer from Collectables features a pair of out of print LPs by Billy Vera: Storybook Children with Judy Clay and With Pen in Hand, both originally issued on Atlantic in 1968. Highlights among the 23 tracks include several cover versions of popular soul songs of the era, including "I've Been Loving You Too Long," "Let It Be Me," and "(You Keep Me) Hangin' On."
