Dean Parrish - Tell Her

Here's anther version of a song that I had never heard.  I've only known The Exciters' version of "Tell Him."

Turns out, according to Wikipedia, that "Tell Her" was originally recorded in 1962 by Gil Hamilton aka Johnny Thunder. "Tell Her" was also a single for Ed Townsend before Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller produced the version by the Exciters released - as "Tell Him" - in October of 1962.

The Dean Parrish version of "Tell Her" didn't come along until 1966.

It's hard-driving, hot, sweaty, and rough-around-the-edges, especially when compared to The Exciters version.  And look at that fantastic "Boom" label and sleeve!  When I bought the 45, there was no mention of the original sleeve being included.  Beautiful!
