Gene Mooney - A Place Where Broken Hearts Can Go (Merit No.#), 1977
We have already featured a detailed post on Mooney, so this won't be as detailed but I'll give you some detailed information on this disc nevertheless. Mooney was a Tulsa based country and western swing band leader who recorded a couple of local 45s during the years. This is my second Gene Mooney single (the other one being his Rocket 45).
Mooney was a longtime performer in Tulsa, from the 1950s until the 1970s - at least that is what my research brought up. He sometimes even performed at legendary Cain's Ballroom but left after there were some discrepancies. Judging from the Southern Plastic matrix numbers, this single was pressed (and likely released) around 1977. All three Merit releases are by Mooney and feature songs from his "Gene Mooney Music" publishing firm, so I suppose it was also his own record label.
