Don't Worry, Baby THE IVY LEAGUE

The Ivy League was formed in August 1964 by three session singers with an extensive vocal range: John Carter, Ken Lewis (both previous members of Carter-Lewis and the Southerners) plus Perry Ford. They were first heard doing background vocals for The Who on their hit single "I Can't Explain" in November 1964 but after that, the Who's producers entrusted John Entwistle and Pete Townshend with the backing vocals. Their debut single, "What More Do You Want" generated little interest but the second release, "Funny How Love Can Be" made the UK chart's Top 10. Further hits followed, including "That's Why I'm Crying" and UK chart #3 "Tossing and Turning". They favoured the falsetto-style of singing - hence their choice of covering this Beach Boys song.

I have since become good friends with John Carter. I am really happy to feature his music from time to time.
