The 28 January 1967 issue of Record World reported:
"Amy took the title of the Adam Clayton Powell saying "Keep the Faith Baby" with Lenny Howard"

The single, however, eventually did not come out on Amy, a record label based in New York City. Instead it was issued on Real George, a label that seems to have been a one off as there are no other Real George singles to be found. So it may be that the deal with Amy fell through and Johnny Brantley instead released the single on a label specially created for it?

According to urbandictionary.com the phrase "real george" stands for "cool, fresh, outta sight. Very common in the early 1950s".
