Kenny Lynch first entered the Rogers' frame of vision in late 1962 with his cover of Up On The Roof (written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin). Lynch took it slightly slower (116bpm) than the Drifters' original (122bpm).
Kenny plugged away at songwriting, not always with enormous chart success, but getting plenty of album tracks. In 1965 he worked with Mort Shuman, and they produced
