Things were going down a bit for the Searchers. So it was time for a strong new song. Chris Curtis came up with an American record, title: Goodbye, My Lover, Goodbye. (See his remarks about the song and the recording). Retitled Goodbye My Love and coupled with one of the most beautiful ballads ever - Till I Met You - written by John McNally for his wife Mary. The record came out February 1965. It got much attention in the music press, the song was considered their best since Needles & Pins. Both songs were sung by Mike & Chris, harmony vocal by Frank.
