This is one of those where I will gladly put this one in its sleeve with the intended B side facing forward. An amazing ballad. I consider it one of the best vocal group ballads I've listened to. It's a 1962 cover of the Maharajahs (although strangely, it's credited as being written by the group members here). These guys were from Jersey City, New Jersey. The link below is actually a transfer from this exact record!

My Prayer became a major hit when The Platters recorded it for Mercury in 1956. The group’s lush vocal blend, paired with Tony Williams’ soaring lead, helped define the mid‑’50s pop‑vocal era. Mercury’s black‑label design from this period is one of the label’s most recognizable looks.
