Mornin' Sun by Larry Santos

The lost pop album of the early '70s, produced by the late Artie Fields.

"Mornin' Sun" is the second album, done by soft-and-smooth-voiced pop singer Larry Santos that happened to be one of the lost albums of the 1970s since it was a promotional copy; now it is a hitmaking pop album of 1970, produced by the late jazz trumpet player, writer, engineer and founder of Artie Fields Productions, named Artie Fields. His soft and soulful pop hits, "Morning Sun", originally the title cut and "Now That I Have Found You" missed the Top 40 when they were demolished by 2 songs by The Beatles, called, "I Am The Walrus" and "Come Together" with the lyrics that aren't good, which they were banned by the BBC since rateyourmusic.com once said:

Yikes! Larry dressed to kill with a leather vest and sly smirk on his face launched his second LP which... taa-dah! is peppered with popular covers. Simon & Garfunkel, The Foundations and Joni Mitchell all get the Santos treatment. But the song that stands out has to be the highly rearranged Youngbloods' classic "Get Together" turning it from its original high vocal plea for peace to a macho soul ballad witch fits more firmly in the topic of the Vietnam
War.

But just to shake things up, Larry took out the tambourine and woke up the good times by singing Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline", beating out Elvis' cover attempt by weeks!

Though all this may seem grand, the LP cranked out no hit singles and only the R&B stations gave it a shot. Maybe they were already playing Richie Havens' "High Flying Bird"?
Larry threw out the leather vest and changed labels for his third try. This time he changed his style for good!
