Action Unlimited were originally known as the Maroons and were based out of East Kentucky University. They went out to California to work with Dick Clark Productions and optimistically changed their name to "Action Unlimited". (Clark was then the producer of the popular ABC TV series Where the Action Is!) They were signed to the Philadelphia based Cameo/ Parkway label via their ties to Clark, and recorded two singles, though only one was ever released.
The flip is a minor masterpiece. Simultaneously haunting, melancholy and yet spiritually uplifting, "My Heart Cries Out" is case-in-point as to why Curt Boettcher was the guy to beat in 1966. What might have been a mediocre or even throwaway cut in the hands of a lesser producer is bolstered immeasurably by the painstakingly-crafted instrumental track, space age sound effects and the stellar vocal arrangements of the producer in charge. The "bah bah" harmonies recall the Association's "Don't Blame It on Me", while the melody and feel aren't dissimilar to Lee Mallory's "Many Are the Times". If somebody can ID what Curt is doing to achieve that recurring effect that drifts throughout the track, then please explain it to me!
