Ronnie McCain / Ronnie Forte - Discography


Ronnie McCain also recorded as Ronnie Forte who had a big NS tune "That Was Whiskey Talkin'" first played at Cleethorpes Pier / Winter Gardens in 1977.

He released about 4 45s

Discography

196? - Ron McCain - What Do You Know About Love / Any Time Of The Day [Shock SR 1003/SR 1004] 

NB 1007/1008 has a release date of 1964 so this could be 1964.  SirShambling has this listed for him, but curiously Shock was a Memphis label, so perhaps he  moved to New York not long after this (his first?) recording?
