Culprit Jimmy Ruffin
Title Farewell Is A Lonely Sound
Year 1969
Written by James Dean, William Weatherspoon and Jack Goga
Submitted by Siegfried Baboon

Jimmy Ruffin's heartfelt "talkie bit" is rudely interrupted by this gear change. There's not a lot you can say about it, other than to concur with his sad cry of "ohhhh" when it happens. That's the sound of a man retrospectively reading the small print of a contract he has already signed, realising that he is now legally obliged to change key.
