Liner Notes A SINGER DOESN'T HAVE TO WRITE HIS OWN SONGS IN ORDER TO HAVE HIT RECORDS, BUT WHEN HE CAN WRITE SONGS AS GOOD AS THE ONES DON COVAY COMPOSES IT DEFINITELY HELPS. DON HIMSELF HAS SAID, ITSINGING IS MY FIRST LOVE BUT I LIKE TO EXPRESS MY THOUGHTS IN THE SONGS I WRITE AS WELL AS IN THE WAY I SING THEM. I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR EXPERIENCES WE ALL KNOW, AND TRY TO RELATE THEM THROUGH BOTH MY WRITING AND MY SINGING. THIS IS WHY I THINK MERCY, MERCY BECAME SO POPULAR. IT'S DOWN TO EARTH, AND EVERYONE IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZES THE MEANING OF THE SONG FROM FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE." DON COVAY HAS BEEN REACHING THE PEOPLE WITH HIS WRITING AND SINGING FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. IN ADDITION TO THE SONGS WHICH HE HAS PERSONALLY POPULARIZED, DON HAS WRITTEN MANY SONGS WHICH OTHER SINGERS AND GROUPS HAVE MADE INTO HITS: CHUBBY CHECKER'S PONY TIME, GLADYS KNIGHT & THE PIPS' LETTER FULL O' TEARS, AND HANK BALLARD'S LUCKY PUNCH. DON HAS WRITTEN MORE THAN SIX HUNDRED SONGS INCLUDING MOST OF THE NUMBERS IN THIS ALBUM. DON COVAY IS ONE OF THE MOST TRAVELED YOUNG MEN IN THE MUSIC WORLD. HE IS CONTINUOUSLY TOURING THE COUNTRY PLAYING THE-ATRES AND NIGHTCLUB ENGAGEMENTS. ONE VISIT TO A TOWN OR CITY SEEMS TO BE ALL THAT IS NECESSARY TO GET A DON COVAY FAN CLUB STARTED AND THEY HAVE SPRUNG UP EVERYWHERE. DON'S MOST LOYAL FAN CLUB IS PROBABLY IN WASHINGTON, D.C. AFTER A RECENT ENGAGEMENT AT THE HOWARD THEATRE IN THAT CITY, HIS FAN CLUB ARMED WITH SIGNS WALKED TO BALTIMORE (A DISTANCE OF 32 MILES) TO PUBLICIZE HIS OPENING AT THE ROYAL THEATRE. AT THE END OF A PERFORMANCE IT IS BECOMING A COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR DON'S CLOTHING TO BE TORN FROM HIS 5 FOOT 11 INCH, 175 POUND FRAME BY ENTHUSIASTIC FANS. THEATRE AND CLUB OFFICIALS HAVE RESORTED TO PROVIDING A BODYGUARD TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL INJURY TO DON. THESE EMOTIONAL REACTIONS TO DON'S MUSIC POINT UP THE STRONG PERSONAL FEELINGS THAT MOST PEOPLE EXPERIENCE WHEN THEY HEAR HIM SING. WHEN DON COVAY APPEARS BEFORE AN AUDIENCE HE IS TELLING EVERYONE, "THIS IS THE WAY IT IS." --BOB ALTSHULER COVER DESIGN: MARVIN ISRAEL PRODUCED BY GLOVON THIS IS A HIGH FIDELITY RECORDING. FOR BEST RESULTS OBSERVE THE R.I.A.A. HIGH FREQUENCY ROLL-OFF CHARACTERISTIC WITH A 500 CYCLE CROSSOVER.
