The Soul Agents released their second single on October 15, 1964, also on Pye Records; and in 1965, this single also came out in America.  The band picked two other traditional songs for this 45, “The Seventh Son” b/w “Let’s Make it Pretty Baby”.  “The Seventh Son” was a Top Ten hit song for Johnny Rivers in 1965, and “seventh son” is mentioned in numerous other songs as well, such as Roger Miller’s “Dang Me”:  “I’m the seventh out of seven sons / My pappy was a pistol, I’m a son of a gun”.
