One of our big favorites. The Tremeloes did record but decided not to release it.However they allowed Christie to use their backing vocals on the released version. A monster hit.

Jeff Christie was quite a prolific songwriter, San Bernardino was a hit singles for them too.

Yes, it was their second hit. Another one was "Man with many faces". Remember our trip to Cameron Highlands? Lim Teng Sai had 'Yellow River' on his cassette tape, along with 'American Woman' and other songs. He played the songs over and over again because he brought only 1 tape!!
