@edgarblythe,
Ah, edgar, Somebody Wrote That Song for Me, by Charlie Rich was great and reminded me of when so many of us here at WA2K radio were playing "Our Telling Songs".
I tried to find this one by "old blue eyes" but no luck, so let's listen to another discovery. First some info.
Vic Franklyn
The album cover's rural setting - and Mr. Franklyn's truly astonishing mullet - had me thinking this was a country record, but Vic Franklyn was, the liner notes claim, "Canada's Number One Singer with the Night Club set." A native of Aberdare, South Wales (within bellowing distance of Trefforest, Tom Jones' hometown), Franklyn got his start singing at youth clubs and school dances when he was 14, graduated to working men's clubs (i.e. union halls) and eventually made his way to London, where he played bass in his own jazz trio in West End clubs, sung (uncredited) covers on budget-line LPs and pretty much played any gig he could get until he and his wife, Norma, had had their fill and lit out for Canada in 1972. By the end of the following year he'd landed a recording contract with the Canadian Talent Library (which led to the release of at least three albums), and in 1976 he landed his own nationally-syndicated TV show on CHCH-TV Hamilton. Beyond that I have no idea what became of Mr. Franklyn, although a poster on this message board claims he was still kicking around as recently as last year, and that Jackie Mittoo (!) produced a couple of his albums.
Sing it, Vic.

Jerry Lee's It All Depends was good.
