The original version of Damn Good Friend Of Mine (Medley) by Bill Medley, from the 1971 MGM SE-4783 album 6680 Lexington by 6680 Lexington, although he is not credited, either intentionally or mistakenly. The album was a project put together by Mike Patterson, who co-produced the album with Art Munson.
The lyrics would suggest that the song was written by Bill Medley for Mike Patterson, who had been a major influence for the Righteous Brothers from the very onset of their careers at The Rendezvous Ballroom in Balboa and with Moonglow Records. He then continued to work with the Righteous Brothers and then Bill Medley, when he went solo in 1968 and also formed a management company with Medley and Jim West around this time with a roster of acts including The Blossoms, Chris Morgan and Ken Tobias.
Another version of the song with title shortened to Damn Good Friend, appeared on Bill Medley's "A Song For You" A&M album a year later.
