There's No Doubt In My Mind
Written by Wes Farrell and Gerry Goffin
There's no doubt in my mind with your wandering smile
You won't be staying very long
Ah, but you're gonna find if you hang around awhile
You will remember me when you're gone
You may not think that my love counts for much
But you'll remember me, baby, every single time we touch
One of these days you're gonna wish that you were mine
Don't be mistaken baby you won't be wastin' any time
There's no need to pretend that we can foresee
Just how long these days will last
But I tell you I intend that the time you spend with me
Won't be forgotten when it's past
You may not think that my love counts for much
But you'll remember me, baby, every single time we touch
One of these days you're gonna wish that you were mine
Don't be mistaken baby you won't be wastin' any time
You may not think that my love counts for much
But you'll remember me, baby, every single time we touch
One of these days you're gonna wish that you were mine
Don't be mistaken baby you won't be wastin' any time
As David explains in the following excerpt from the book “C’mon Get Happy…Fear and Loathing on the Partridge Family Bus” by David Cassidy & Chip Deffaa, his voice on the first two of The Partridge Family records, his voice was altered.
“Wes had some problem with the way I naturally sounded. He had me double-track vocals (the way Neil Sedaka had so often done) to give my voice added pop-ness. And by altering the tape speed, he was able to raise the pitch of my voice a half-tone above what it actually was, so that on records I sounded a little younger, lighter than in real life.”
The following two recordings highlight this. The first recording is a small part of the original recording from 1971 LP “Up To Date”. The second recording has been provided by John Gomolka who altered the original track to better reflect David’s true voice.
"There's No Doubt In My Mind" - Part of original recording
"There's No Doubt In My Mind" - altered to reflect David’s true voice.
