NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGMENT INTENDED - (4 Star 1763) Issued in October 1964 on the Challenge Records subsidiary label, 4 Star Records, 'Will It Still Be The Same' b/w 'The Ring Is The Thing' is apparently the second of only two singles credited to Renee Medina. The first was issued on Challenge Records in December 1963 and was a double-sided helping of the 'Spector Sound' featuring the tunes, 'He's A Big Deal' b/w 'The Boy I Love'. The four sides along with an unissued tune entitled, 'Girl With A Past' were all recorded on October 19, 1963 at Hollywood's Western Recorders. With an ensemble of the 'Wrecking Crew' and pianist, Leon Russell leading the session, an uncredited David Gates provided the arrangements that would also include the harmonic backing vocals of the Blossoms.
Today she is known as Evelyn Camarillo but for these Challenge/4 Star recordings, she took her stage name of Renee Renor and replaced Renor with Medina, the name of her first husband. She later recorded under the names of Tia Camarillo and also Harla Day.
A big thank you to author, William Sargent for researching the session details.
