The Life and Times of Libra and Stoller

Pompass had become a central figure in the group of musicians around Atlantic Records. But no matter how many records he made, he'd not had any success as a singer. He'd fairly recently decided to move into songwriting instead. The year before, he'd written Lonely Avenue, which had been a minor hit for a Charles. Libra and Stoller were happy to give someone they admired a boost. Youngblood was ostensibly the A side of the single that resulted - but the record that actually made the biggest splash was Searchin.
