Thank you posting Baby Come Back!
I don't believe Randy sang lead on either song.

I thought that wasn't a Randy vocal, it was so different.Originally Posted by NightMistBlue
For comparison, this is definitely a Randy vocal.

Re: Spot the Eagle
Ahh, one of mature Randy's great vocal performances. I love that little sob in his voice.
In contrast, this is the earliest Randy vocal I know of: a cover of Sam Cooke's "You Send Me" from late 1962:

My personal fave early Randy vocal is this delightful and addicting record from August 1965, "So Fine":

Here's a photo of Randy when he first moved to California in early 1966: an innocent and sturdy country lad. Note the naked Batwoman picture on the wall.

Re: Spot the Eagle
The first one sounds like Randy's voice sped up. Maybe the second lead vocal is Allen Kemp
Re: Spot the Eagle
I'm pretty sure John Day is singing lead on the groovy "She's Got the Time"; he was their lead singer. They fired him after a disastrous trip to NYC to open for Hendrix at the Salvation Club.
Re: Spot the Eagle
There's a whole CD of The Driving Dynamics songs on spotify. I thought I read that Randy was singing "You Send Me", but the video lists the credits at the end and doesn't attribute Randy as the lead. I'd need to listen to more to learn to identify Randy. His voice doesn't stand out, but now that you've confirmed You Send Me as Randy, I can compare.
Re: Spot the Eagle
I believe that was Randy's first-ever time in a recording studio. His friend Joey Stec confirms it on his web site: http://www.sonicpastmusic.com/artist...ded-biography/
