Only 16 / Poor Little Fool | |
|
Terry Black, originally from Vancouver B.C., began his professional career singing as a teenager on a local Vancouver music show in the early 60's. Black became so popular that he was signed to a recording contract with ARC Records in 1964.
His first single for ARC Records was "Unless You Care", and featured a young session guitarist by the name of Glen Campbell. Black released a number of singles in 1964 & 65 and became Canada's first and biggest teen sensation. The success of these singles and tours across Canada lead to the release of Black’s debut album in 1965, Only 16 - Poor Little Fool, which was merely a collection of his hit singles.
The album contained a dozen beat styled songs, eight of which were written and produced by the team of Philip F. Sloan and Steve Barri, who were responsible for a number of hits for other artists during the mid-60's .
