"Come Softly To Me" / "I Care So Much"
MISC NOTES: The labels on this disc credit the company's original corporate name of Dolphin Records. Shortly after the record was issued, a different Dolphin label -- owned by Doubleday Books -- emerged and demanded that the Seattle-based Dolphin cease-and-desist from using their trademarked name. Thus, Seattle's Dolphin was quickly transformed to Dolton which went on to a multi-year run of remarkable commercial successes. In order that this one Dolphin label single doesn't sit in isolation, we have opted to list it with the Dolton labelography.
