Bobby Sherman - Portrait of Bobby

Bobby Sherman's last two chart songs of the seven that entered the Top 40 between 1969-1971 appeared on Portrait Of Bobby, a pink gatefold album with an easel to cut out and assemble, along with an offer to join the Bobby Sherman fan club. "Cried Like a Baby" was not The Box Tops hit from 1978 -- that was actually "Cry Like a Baby." This tune was composed by legendary singer/songwriter Paul Williams, along with Craig Doerge. Though it did enter the Top 20, Sherman's radio power was on the wane and this title lacked the irresistible and immediate charm of a "Julie Do Ya Love Me." The Top 30 entry from May 1971, "The Drum" was written by Alan O'day, author of the brilliant "Heavy Church" for Three Dog Night. Read More
