Bullet – White Lies, Blue Eyes
Bullet wasn’t even a band when the song was released. In fact, the song had to be recorded with studio musicians to finish the track! Ernie Sorrentino sang vocals on Lanny Lambert and Bobby Flax’s “White Lies, Blue Eyes” and Big Tree Records released it as a single in late 1971.
It began climbing the charts so guitarist Paul Granato was recruited along with keyboard/trumpet player Roget Pontbriand, and other members of the New York band Riverside Drive, to fill out a touring band, to promote the song live,
Bullet played the song on American Bandstand (well, lip synched) and toured for a couple more years before splitting up.
The song peaked at #28 on the Hot 100!
