This artist had hits from throughout the 60s and 70s, and RadioDude says he's gonna play one of 'em from the 60s.
This song hit its peak chart position at #9 in 1964. The original by writer Harold Dorman hit # 21 in 1960. Ronnie Dove's version managed #67 in 1968.
Name the 1964 artist:
Standing on a mountain looking down on a city
The way I feel is a doggone pity
Teardrops fallin' down a mountainside
Many times I've been here, many times I've cried
We used to be so happy when we were in love
High on a mountain of love
Night after night I'm a-standing here alone
Weepin' my heart out till cold gray dawn
Prayin' that you're lonely and you come here too
Hoping just by chance that I'll get a glimpse of you
Tryin' hard to find you, somewhere up above
High on a mountain of love
A mountain of love, a mountain of love, you should be ashamed
We used to be a mountain of love
But you just changed your name
Way down below there's a half a million people
Somewhere there's a church with a big tall steeple
Inside a church there's an altar filled with flowers
Wedding bells are ringin' and they shoulda been ours
That's why I'm so lonely, my dreams gone above
High on a mountain of love
<harmonica interlude>
A mountain of love, a mountain of love, you should be ashamed
We used to be a mountain of love
But you just changed your name
Way down below there's a half a million people
Somewhere there's a church with a big tall steeple
Inside a church there's an altar filled with flowers
Wedding bells are ringin' that shoulda been ours
That's why I'm so lonely, ((transcription error))
High on a mountain of love
High on a mountain of love
High on a mountain of love
High on a mountain of love

Giovanni Rivera, IIRC. Johnny Rivers.
Live at the Whiskey-a-go-go in what seems now a much more innocent time.
Secret Agent Man is one of my all time favorite 1960's songs.
