THE HARPTONES AND A VARIETY OF FRIENDS
THIS ALBUM WAS PRODUCED BY BCJ PRODUCTIONS IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE HARPTONES, TO SHOWCASE THE TALENTS OF MANY ARTISTS WHO HAVE (TO COIN A PHRASE) "PAID THEIR DUES".
SONG # 1--SKY HIGH 4:23 WAS WRITTEN BY BILLY DAWN SMITH. THE SONG WAS RECORDED OVER 25 YEARS AGO BY THE HARPTONES BUT NEVER RELEASED. THE SESSION WAS PRODUCED BY THE HARPTONES AND RAOUL J. CITA WHO DID THE ARRANGEMENTS AND KEYBOARD. Publisher: Dawnton Music
SONG#2--COCAINE 4:22 WAS WRITTEN BY FRANK D. MURPHY AND RECORDED BY FRANK DELL AND THE NEW YORK CONNECTION. THIS GROUP HAS PERFORMED FOR MANY YEARS ALONG THE EAST COAST, BUT NEVER ACHIEVED THE POPULARITY THAT A HIT RECORD COULD BRING. FRANK IS AN ACCOMPLISHED WRITER AS WELL AS PERFORMER. Publisher: Gothel Music
SONG #3--ONLY YOU AND I KNOW 4:40 WAS WRITTEN BY TEDDY COLANDER AND PERFORMED BY TEDDY COLANDER AND PERFECTION. THE GROUP DOES AN OUTSTANDING JOB IN THE BACKGROUND AS TEDDY GIVES A WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE AS LEAD VOCAL.

SONG #4--PROMISES IN THE DARK 4:54 WAS WRITTEN BY BILLY DAWN SMITH AND PERFORMED BY "TREAT". THIS SONG WAS RECORDED MANY YEARS AGO, BUT NOT RELEASED. BILLY DAWN SMITH WAS ABLE TO FIND MANY SUCH TUNES THAT APPEARED TO BE LOST. Publisher: Dawnton Music
