John Barry Seven's "Every Which Way"

I am not sure if John Barry actually sings on this record, but at the very least he's 'performing' their recording of "Every Which Way." Barry had a long career before the James Bond adventure started. One of the great film composers, but I also like the music he did before the Bond soundtracks.

I think John Barry's band supported singer Adam Faith. Oddly, because Faith trained to be an actor and had a singing part in Beat Girl, Barry was called in as arranger and ultimately did the whole soundtrack, effectively starting a long career in film for Barry.
Later, when it was Adam faith and The Roulettes, the guitar player was Russ Ballard. He later formed Unit 4+2 and then Argent with the remnants of the Zombies. There is a Youtube group which obsess over Russ Ballard's songwriting skills.

Barry did back and arranged early Adam Faith recordings. In fact I have a copy. I think it's called 'Faith." But I could be wrong. I love his name!

Was Russ Ballard part of Unit 4+2? I love Concrete and Clay!
