Keepinitcntry Date Submitted:  2023-10-08 [Archive Date: 2024-01-06] Genre:  Motown/Soul Original Artist:  Len Barry Additional Info:  Disc Mfg:    Disc #:   Description:  "1 - 2 - 3" is a 1965 song recorded by American blue-eyed soul singer Len Barry, who also co-wrote it with John Madara and David White (the latter two produced the recording). The recording's chorus and accompaniment were arranged by Jimmy Wisner. The single was released in 1965 on the American Decca label. The writers were sued by Motown Records at the time, claiming that the song is a reworking of Holland-Dozier-Holland's "Ask Any Girl" released by The Supremes as the B-side to their single "Baby Love" the year before. They denied the claim, but after two years of litigation, agreed to give the Motown writers 15% of the song's writing and publishing royalties. Holland-Dozier-Holland are listed as co-authors by BMI. I had the pleasure of asking Joyce and her socialites to sing my back ups. Thanks so much for adding your talents to the recording Joyce. Your work is amazing. Hope ya'll enjoy the classic and TY for listening. Overall Rank:  Rank Unavailable Total Comments:  0 Listen:    Sorry, this submission has been archived.
