Vernon Harrell - Beg, Borrow And Steal / I Had A Dream My Record Was Number One (Digital 45)

A New York based American R&B singer and songwriter blessed with a rich, powerful voice, Vernon Harrell released several singles in the 1960s and 70s and replaced Billy Guy in the 1960s as a member of The Coasters, while Guy was busy working on a solo career. One of Harrell's earliest recordings came in 1963 for the New York City based Beltone Records label with Beg, Borrow And Steal b/w I Had A Dream My Record Was Number One. Side A is a rockin' little dance number that shows off Harrell's natural vocal prowess with an incessant beat and plenty of honkin' saxophone. Side B is pure popcorn soul complete with female backing vocals. This rare vintage single has been newly remastered and finally made available in the digital domain.
