And they liked her so much that they tried me." Haggard and Owens, who would eventually marry, scored a minor hit with the duet "Just Between the Two of Us" in 1965 on Tally Records. As part of the

Motown used for acts that recorded material with more of an R&B flavor than a pop flavor. In 1972, the group had success with their cover of musician Kris Kristofferson's ballad, "Help Me Make It Through the Night". The song helped to make the group's transition from soul and blues-oriented material to more middle of the road flair. In late 1972, the group began recording songs for what would be their final album, "Neither One of Us", at Motown's Hitsville U.S.A. studios in Detroit. Among the songs they would record that wounded up on the album included a funk-oriented cover

Released less than two years after the top 3 hit "Arc of a Diver", it failed to see as much success as its predecessor, reaching #28 on the "Billboard" 200. "Valerie" was a minor hit in 1982, but when it was remixed and re-released in 1987 for "Chronicles", the newer version of the song became a top 10 hit. The album tracks "Help Me Angel" and "Talking Back to the Night" were also re-recorded for "Chronicles". The latter

Work became much more productive when Dylan continued work at Cherokee Studios in Hollywood. Recruiting Lone Justice drummer Don Heffington for the early December sessions, Dylan recorded an ambitious song he had co-written with playwright Sam Shepard, titled "New Danville Girl" and another song.

After sitting in his room for a night or two studying the postcards, Mitchell picked up his guitar and in a few minutes the song was written. It is, appropriately, a country song. The song was an immediate hit with the Saints on Ascension. With the help of recording company Camaro Records, Mitchell made two 45-rpm records (four songs) in Memphis, Tennessee in 1975.
