About Jerri Bo Keno
Jeff Barry discovered her singing in a group called the Tootsie Rock Revue and brought her to Spector’s attention. He changed her name to Jerri Bo Keno, and then he and Jeff wrote a song for her. “Here It Comes And Here I Go“ is a Country/Pop number that the producer turned into even more of a hybrid by setting it to a jerky rhumba beat and overlaying a sound effects track of someone stomping the Hell out of a plywood board. The resulting single was more than a little reminiscent of early Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons hits. While it certainly gets your attention in a hurry, “Here It Comes” never quite gels as a record. Right after the single was released, Ms. Bocchino admitted to Melody Maker Magazine that she "didn’t (even) touch the melody and had to do the vocal over and over again.” It‘s true, she never did come to grips with the melody, and that’s undoubtedly why the platter tanked. Too bad, because with someone like Ronnie Spector on lead vocals, it might’ve really caused a stir.
