Darlene Love v Carolyne Daye - A Long Way To Be Happy

Recorded in June 1966 at Gold Star Studios in Holywood this, Phil Specter produced (Gerry) Goffin & (Carole) King written, song would be kept under wraps until 1976 when it was released on a UK compilation series of Specter's unreleased Philles material: 'Phil Specter Wall Of Sound Volume 6 - Rare Masters 2' on Phil Specter International records.

The song was also recorded by Carolyne Daye (a white artist) on Liberty and released in August 1966. It was arranged by Gene Page and produced by Calvin Carter. It is low key, more 'crossover', in comparison to Darlene Love's powerhouse 'Wall Of Sound' version.
