He had 8 other records on the Billboard Pop charts, but they all peaked >pretty low. After reading your post I looked him up in Whitburn and
then I listened to his 1960 version of "You Don't Know Me," his first
record to chart. Bruce would hate it because it has a lot of
violins--too much even for me--but Lenny Welch was carving out a niche
for himself as a pop singer with a distinctly soulful voice.
BTW he was born in Asbury Park, NJ.

I remember meeting Lenny around 1960 when he was first recording for
Cadence. He came by the Avondale Club on one of our Sunday afternoon
gigs. A really nice fellow as i recall.

Where was that club?
I see one now in the UK and one in Arizona.
PS - "Rock And Roll Mama" just came on in my car on shuffle. Loved it.
