In August of 1969 a record made a brief appearance on the Billboard Hot 100, stalling at #52.  It was a fun little number about an almost-but-not-quite-one-night-stand with a seemingly popular girl named Matilda. Just who sang the song is a small matter of debate.  Sure, the label says Duke Baxter. Joel Whitburn lists Baxter as “Born in Australia, White pop singer.” There’s disagreement on that. Baxter may really be a Canadian named James Blake, who sometimes went by the name Dudley F. Baxter. And if that’s not confusing enough, some people think that Blake/Baxter also recorded under the name Shaman. What we do know: this is a great record, and it’s a lot of fun. This single is in Very Good Plus condition.
