A String Of Hits
The Golden Gate Strings
Produced by Bob Morgan and Manny Kellem

1965

From Billboard - September 8, 1965: Proved successful with their initial album of "The Bob Dylan Songbook," the shimmering strings create lush treatments of recent popular hits. The Supremes' "Baby Love," Nancy Wilson's "How Glad I Am" and Bobby Vinton's "Mr. Lonely" lend themselves beautifully to these full orchestrations. A programming and sales winner.
