Original Gates LP still not officially reissued on CD: "Take Me Now" (Arista). |
A number of the early singles listed below are also listed in the Rockin' Country Style discographies: Click on David Gates and the Vibes, and note the inclusion on these pages of song samples, label photos, and info on compilations containing listed songs, some of which are presently available through Amazon.com. (See note "D" at bottom of this page.) David Gates can be heard with country singer Billy Dean on a number of songs appearing in Dean's more recent CDs, one of which was co-produced by Gates and Dean. Information on the Gates-Dean collaborations can be found by examining the discography on the Billy Dean website. Gates and Melissa Manchester recorded the duet "Wish We Were Heroes" for her Arista LP "Hey Ricky" which was released in 1982. Note the discography on the Melissa Manchester website. The song may also be on one of her singles; I remember hearing it on the radio in the early 1980s. Gates also wrote or co-wrote "Standing In The Eyes Of The World" for the XVI Commonwealth Games which were held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Sept 11-21, 1998. |

A = Released as by "The Accents / Vocal by David Gates." "Lovin' At Night" shows how guitar tremolo can supply the beat. Hear this song a few times and it might become difficult to get it out of your head. A 1958 cover by Sammy Salvo (RCA) tries to improve the lyrics somewhat. I remember reading somewhere that only 500 copies of the Perspective Sound record were made; that could be reflected in the "500" part of the record's catalog number. The first 6 numbers of the catalog no. look like a date – December 10, 1957, perhaps? (Recording date?) |
