“Uptown Girl” is a
great homage to Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons and “Careless Talk” is one
to Sam Cooke correspondingly. Both tracks are from album “An Innocent Man” (US
#4, UK #2), which was placed in late 50’s and early 60’s genres.
I have the picture
sleeve for this … somewhere. I’ll add the photo of it to this post later.
