THE GREATEST SONGS OF THE 1960s THAT NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD
1,460) Tony Ritchie — “Could You Really Live Without Her”
This “superb” (MushroomMachineClub, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raXGDOtr8_k) ’68 B-side is a horn infused “fuzzy blue-eyed soul stomper” (The Sound of Vinyl, https://thesoundofvinyl.us/products/la-discoteque-psychedelique-various) sung by British songwriter Tony Ritchie, written by him and Miki Dallon and Derek Spence and produced by Dallon. Various combinations of the three wrote most of Don Fardon’s LP Lament Of The Cherokee Indian Reservation (though not the title song).
As to Miki Dallon, Miki Dallon Productions/Publishing tells us that:
Miki Dallon is a well known songwriter and record producer from the 60’s and 70’s who also had his own performing career from the late 50’s to the mid 60’s. As a songwriter and producer he scored with The Sorrows[‘] “Take a Heart” and Neil Christian[‘s] “That’s Nice”, the songs were also major hits by a variety of artists in most European territories. Miki undertook further independent production work for many Major labels throughout the 70’s and 80’s, having previously run the Strike and Young Blood labels as outlets for his productions through the ’60’s and ’70 ‘s.
