"Home Of The Brave"

Well here are two of the future Blackberries as Bonnie and The Treasures - Sherlie Matthews on your left as you view and Clydie King on your right with Charlotte O'Hara [[Matheny) as Bonnie in the middle. All look amazing.

I don't quite know what to make of this version of "Home Of The Brave", the lyrics are insightful but I'm not keen on the vocals.  Interestingly this Bonnie & The Treasures version has Phil Spector written all over it and was released on one of his labels but he doesn't get any producer credit on the original 45 ...

There was a cover version by Jody Miller that was a sizable hit (#25 US BB Hot-100 & #49 UK) where the lyrics are a bit clearer.



There was also a British version by Peanut (who apparently was Katie Kissoon) that was listed on Radio London's Fab 40 along with the Jody Miller version back in '65.
