We Five - You Were on My Mind (1965) 4K

We Five performing “You Were on My Mind“, released originally in 1965. It reached #1 in US Adult Contemporary and #3 in US Billboard Hot 100. This song was written by Sylvia Tyson of the Canadian folk duo Ian & Sylvia. When We Five recorded it, Tyson rewrote some of the lyrics to remove references to getting drunk, in order to help the song get airplay. There is sometimes confusion as to whether the vocalist in this song is male or female. In fact, both answers are correct, as in the opening verses, a female and male member of the group are singing in unison. All references state that the female vocalist in We Five was Beverly Bivens. However, some sources say there was a previous vocalist in the group who sang “You Were On My Mind“ and left the group before it became a hit. Outside of this folk-rock excursion, most of the tracks on We Five’s two albums sound much more Broadway than they do rock, and the female vocalist on most of these tracks (assumed to be Bivens) sings in a completely different style from the one used on their hit single. It’s a mystery that has yet to be fully solved.
