Permalink   

Trying to fill in a few more gaps...

Anyone know who wrote these tracks?
All appeared on the Anthology set, which has no liner notes what-so-ever.

1) I Just Cried - The Sunliners (Demo)
2) King Of A Rainy Country (1st Album)
3) Child Of Fortune / One World (GENERATON SNDTRK)
4) Fun House (Wilson Sessions Outtake)
5) What You Gonna Do If I Give It You (BACK TO EARTH Outtake)
6) B Want R Ya (BACK TO EARTH Outtake)

According to the booklet in my Best of Rare Earth Anthology CD:

1) I Just Cried - The Sunliners (Demo) (Unknown)
2) King Of A Rainy Country (Paul Parrish) More likely John Parrish aka John Persh???
3) Child Of Fortune (Wes Henderson/Ron Farrell) / One World (Tom Baird)
4) Fun House (Melvin Ragin/Frank Wilson/Terri McFaddin)
5) What You Gonna Do If I Give It You (Unknown)
6) B What R Ya  (Doug Duffey)

Hope this helps!

Re King of...

OK. I was just going by what info I had in my collection. Dreams and Answers (Vinyl LP) claims it to be written by Parrish but the Anthology CD goes one further and says Paul Parrish.

John Persh (Parrish) was quite active as far as songwriting, and contributed some fine songs along the way, notably Any Man Can Be A Fool on One World.

JP2 might be the man to help methinks!!!

Just googled "King Of A Rainy Country" + paul parrish, and found this
copyright info on the ASCAP ACE site:

 KING OF A RAINY COUNTRY      (Title Code: 410287453) 
  Writers:    PARRISH PAUL T

Soooo... Paul Parrish is sounding like the right name.

thanks again for the info.

I honestly don't know.  JP does sing the songs that Parrish gets credit for writing though...If it was Paul Parrish, who the heck is Paul Parrish?
