Doris Troy "Just One Look"

Details

Description

One of the best songs from the summer of 1963 is "Just One Look" by Doris Troy. Written by Doris Troy (Payne) and Gregory Carroll, it was released in May 1963 on Atlantic Records and peaked at # 3 in the Billboard R&B chart & #10 in the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This is what Doris said in an interview concerning the song. "I'd written 'Just One Look' and needed to make a demo. Well the demo got made, and it was the demo that was released. ... We'd taken the demo to Atlantic to sell the song, and as soon as they heard it they flipped and said they'd rush release it at once. I was on the road at the time touring with Chuck Jackson who was big then, and since I had no time to go in the studio and re-record it they issued the record straight off the demo-dub I'd had made. Wasn't that a bitch? Well, the record took off so damn fast that it sold like crazy, and it was really lucky for me to be touring at the same time since Atlantic were able (sic) to arrange all sorts of promotional stints and interviews to tie in with the local radio stations where I was visiting." The personnel on the record include Horace Ott on Piano, Snags Allen on guitar, Barney Richmond on bass, and Bruno Carr on drums. The song originally appeared on the album of the same name and is available on CD on Doris Troy Sings Just One Look & Other Memorable Selections on the Collectables label.
