The second of two singles issued on the Valiant label by blue-eyed soul singer, Denny Provisor.
A musically gifted youngster, Provisor learned to play piano as a young boy and eventually was part of several band while in high school. Upon graduation, he managed to score a two disc recording contract with 20th Century-Fox Records in 1964.
The first release, 'Mickey Mouse' b/w 'Walk On With Him' managed to receive airplay in several markets but did not make the Top 100 nationally.
In 1965, then 21 year old Denny Provisor signed with Valiant Records where his first single was a re-release of his second 20th Century-Fox disc, ''Little Girl Lost' b/w 'Dead Letter'. The second single, 'It Really Tears Me Up' b/w/ 'She's Not Mine Anymore' was recorded at Hollywood's Gold Star Recording Studios in October 1965 and the Bodie Chandler arrangement is absolute pure musical power.
The maturity of Denny's lead vocal is quite astonishing and was a sign of wonderful things that would soon come for the young singer. After a brief stint with the group, The Hook on Uni Records, Denny would become a member of the The Grass Roots on Dunhill for the the June 1969 release, 'I'd Wait A Million Years'. He would record and perform with the group until officially leaving in 1972.
The band would regroup in 1974 and sign with Haven Records. Denny would tour and perform with the Grass Roots for several years before Marrying and moving to Wisconsin. While there he joined the group, The Hits and performed together for over twenty years. Today he performs with one of The Hits members and his son as DPX (The Denny Provisor Experience).
