Baron Longfellow
Artist: Baron Longfellow
LP: 7" single
If you've been wondering whatever happened to Lebanese-Canadian pop sensation Andy Kim, the notes below will put your mind at ease. Basically, after having a string of hit singles in the USA and Canada in the late '60s and early '70s and co-writing "Sugar Sugar" with Jeff Barry, the talented young Andy Kim went through a period of transition. He disposed of his teeny-bopper persona and his perfectly-fine-sounding name—and a few years later Baron Longfellow was born, like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon. Longfellow's uncanny resemblance to another pop star of the same era has me wondering why he didn't just call himself something like "Neil Sapphire" instead. You can read about Andy Kim/Baron Longfellow on Wikipedia here, and visit his official website here for more info, photos, and to find out where he'll be performing next. This is another one of the 45s I found while weeding through my singles bins.
