Hurt So Bad/Baby Its You/A Time For Us/Sunny/On Broadway/Shangri-La/Here There & Everywhere/Love Is Here & Now You’re Gone/Elusive Butterfly/(All Of A Sudden)My Heart Sings
The final US top twenty album from the MOR vocal harmony group The Lettermen. Hurt So Bad featured the US No. 12 hit single title track. Their sound was dismissed as elevator music by cynics. (US:17)
"Shangri-La is very pretty and you're bound to remember it if you haven't heard it already.”
“One of the major things The Lettermen had going for them over the years - the many fabulous arrangers, both instrumentally and vocally that only enhanced their tremendous sound.”
“Hurt So Bad is the song that brings back the teen years - beautiful, sad, emotional and naïve – this is a classic.”
“The cosmic parody of life: I was always quick to turn this genre off the radio when I heard it in my 20s - elevator music, we all called it, only to find it the most appealing, lovely sound today in my late 50s.”
“Hurt So Bad is such a beautiful song, almost the same arrangement as that used in the original Little Anthony & The Imperial's version.”
“As a lifelong fan, Shangri-La has always been the finest song by the fabulous, Lettermen. The vocals, the instruments and the arrangements were just perfect.”
