Answer: 'Back From Baltimore'

Neil wrote two more songs for Ronnie and produced one of them but did not give his voice or guitar to either of those songs. The flip side of 'Back From Baltimore', a song called 'Dancin' Out Of My Heart', charted at number 87.

Answer: 'One Kiss For Old Times' Sake'

'One Kiss' was backed with two songs, 'Bluebird' and 'No Greater Love' (1964 recording). When 'I Need You Now' was released, 'Bluebird' was picked as its B side, some copies have a pressing error because the original plates used to press the 'One Kiss' singles were used. Some copies of 'I Need You Now' list 'Bluebird' as the B side but play 'No Greater Love'.
10. What label did Ronnie go to immediately after leaving Diamond records in 1970?

He released 'Sunny' backed with 'Talk To My Children's Mama' on Wrayco in 1970 then went on to Decca Records and became a country singer. In 1988 he returned to Diamond records and his two releases there charted top 80 on the country charts.
