Cleopatra/ But Yesterday

For a guy from Detroit with such a fine voice and great material, it's unbelievable that he managed to put out so many 45s over a decade or more without ever denting the pop charts. If you don't know Coe (and very few do), the tracks on this great single mine the field of rock'n'roll where singers like Bobby Darin, Roy Orbison, and Gene Pitney played. Note: The A-side label has some ringwear and someone's initials written on it.
