Notes:
Ruthann Friedman is best known as the author of "Windy", the hit song by The Association which went to #1 on the Billboard charts in 1967. Because of that success and other songs she had written for other artists, a recording contract was signed but an album was never released. All songs were originally recorded between 1966 and 1969 and released in 2013 by UK's Cherry Red/Now Sounds Records.
