The Best of Ronnie Dove Volume 2


The Best of Ronnie Dove Vol. 2 is a 1967 compilation album by pop singer Ronnie Dove. It was his final album for Diamond Records, and the last album Diamond ever released.
Diamond Records did not issue Dove's then-current single "Dancin' Out of My Heart" on this album, instead deciding to issue its B-side, "Back from Baltimore". According to Dove, Neil Diamond had written the song "Red Red Wine" for Dove to record; however, Phil Kahl turned down the song, claiming Dove had a "teen idol image" he needed to keep. Diamond then wrote "Back from Baltimore" for Dove, since Dove lived there at the time.
