Pate & Collin - Wise Like Solomon

Listen to the song here.

From Paul Urbahns,

The following info was cut and pasted from my Hit Records discography material.
Pate & Collin was a made up name for Bobby Russell and Bergen White.
The following songs were recorded at the Columbia Studio in Nashville TN.

HIT 176B  WISE LIKE SOLOMON

Recorded JAN 65  Written By: Bergen White

        Credited To:  Bobby Brooks

Lead Vocals: Bobby Russell and Bergen White

COMMENT: Hit 176 has become a “Northern Sound” smash and brings pretty high prices. In April 2008, a copy sold on eBay for $129.  The internet web site “Lyrics Vault” and others classify the song as one of the top “Popcorn Oldies.” (European Term).

The label has a typeset error, listing the writer as B. Hussell instead of B Russell.

Why We're Here

    I've always had a thing for certain pop records. As a kid, I imagined every record came from England or Los Angeles fully produced and ready to hit the radio stations. Nashville was always the center of country, but as I tracked down records I liked, a lot of them had, to my surprise, come from Nashville. Everlasting Love, a Nashville record? Morning Girl by the Neon Philharmonic? Even Little G.T.O.? All done in Nashville.

     I moved to Nashville for college and stayed. Since then, I've been lucky to meet and talk to a lot of those producers, artists, and songwriters who were involved in these sounds. We'll feature the pop side of Nashville, with some other sounds that came from Nashville that might surprise you. And we'll try to get the stories behind the songs from the insiders.
