Borne On The Wind was only released overseas, with What'd I Say. Because of scheduling complications with the Pretty Paper Christmas single, Borne was not released in North America. So each of his hits LPs has two songs that were only released overseas. What a magnificent recording Borne On The Wind is.
In Dreams was Roy's own favorite of his hits, and maybe mine too. Working For The Man and Leah were a double-sided hit, both the fast and slow sides making it. Falling was still a typically good power ballad, but starting to falter.
When It's Over became a hit end of 1963, it was in fact over for Roy's songwriting skill. After that it was a struggle, with the inspiration fading. His writing partner had changed from Joe Melson to Bill Dees, possibly creating the problem. Possibly Roy had become too busy touring to be in tune with his inspiration. Pretty Woman still became his biggest hit in 1964, but not because of inspired original songwriting; it was just a supercharged arrangement. I think that was Bob Moore on lead guitar, maybe repeating his own riff from the Everly's Lucille? Did Roy write the melodies or the lyrics mainly, in relation to Melson and Dees?
Following this release came Goodnight, which was still good but not outstanding.
