Ginny Arnell - A LITTLE BIT OF LOVE CAN HURT - (Bell Sound Studios) (1965)

NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED - (M~G~M 13362) Yet another flawless piece of explosive, mind-blowing Teddy Randazzo musical gold recorded on April 14, 1965 at New York City's Bell Sound Studios. Twenty-two year old Ginny Arnell, sang effortlessly over Randazzo's stunningly arranged backing track which sat nicely along side the work he was cranking out at the time with the Royalettes and Little Anthony & The Imperials. At the session, Miss Arnell recorded three tracks; presented here is the devastatingly dramatic, 'A Little Bit of Love Can Hurt', the eventual flip-side entitled, 'B-I-L-L-Why' and another lushly orchestrated number, 'I'm Gettin' Mad' which was Ginny's final M~G~M single as well as her swan song to the recording biz.
Ginny Arnell began her recording career at the age of sixteen issuing two singles on Decca as a duet with Gene Pitney credited as Jamie & Jane. She waxed three solo discs with the label as Ginny Arnell before a move to Warwick records and two single releases there in 1961 & 1962. Ginny auditioned for A&R man, Danny Davis which eventually landed her a recording contract with M~G~M records in 1963. For the next two years, Ginny Arnell enjoyed a life of performing, touring, television appearances along with releasing seven singles and an absolutely wonderful LP at M~G~M. While she worked with many top songwriters, producers and arrangers in New York as well as in Nashville, her Teddy Randazzo produced and arranged tracks are probably the finest vocal performances of her career.

Bellissimo.

It’s getting to where I can determine the sounds of Teddy Randazzo just the same as I can Burt Bacharach. Ginny’s record has elements similar to Little Anthony & The Imperials and The Royalettes.
