In the
initial sessions Huey Smith and Gerri Hall provided the vocals for “Sea Cruise”
and Bobby Marchan sang the flip, originally titled as “Loberta”. Supposedly the
producer wasn’t satisfied with the outcome, as he erased all those vocals and
had Frankie Ford’s vocals overdubbed to the tracks in a later session.
