The Drifters
Up On The Roof
Compil. UK 1996 on Sequel Records label
R&B/Soul and Pop (Rhythm’n’Blues, Soul)
Track 19 is a variation of The Bossa Nova (My Heart Said) written by Leiber/Stoller recorded by Tippie & Clovers, Irene Reid and others - uncredited. Track 14 is misidentified on the tracklist and liner notes as "I Don't Want Nobody" (master # 6917). On the disc we have "I've Loved You So Long" (master # 6932). Apparently the former was another solo recording by Rudy Lewis, but it was never released. The liner notes credit Leiber and Stoller as the producers for the sessions at which tracks 15 to 18 were recorded. This contradicts the liner notes of Volume 5, which credit Bert Berns for the same.
