Bobby Runnel & the Faux Pas: "True Love -- Heartaches"

Bobby Runnel was a singer/musician from the deep south who, for many years, was based in Northeast Ohio.  This blog post from Garage Hangover discusses his career and his finest garage-rock moment, "True Love -- Heartaches."  The third version of that tune (from 1969) was with Bobby's group, The Faux Pas, recorded during a residency at Nino's restaurant in Akron.  I had no idea there was such a large Italian population in Akron, but apparently there was (as evidenced by the beloved local pizza place, Luigi's).
