'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'.

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.
