    Wayne Handy had one more release on Renown. It is a remake of two past releases, So Much To Remember and I Think You Oughta Look Again on Renown 1014. They were recorded in Nashville and also feature Boots Randolph and the Anita Kerr Singers. He also had a release on The JCP label from Raleigh, North Carolina as a duet with Harold Langdon (who recorded Lyndon's Great Society as Lucky Landy). It is a remake of his song Pain Reliever backed with Same Name by Handy and Landy on JCP 1048.

    My father, Bill Joe Austin, played tenor sax on Wayne Handy’s recording of Say Yeah. He said the other musicians were Bill Collins, lead guitar; Gerald Young, rhythm guitar; Rayvon Love, piano; Hayden Ivey, bass; and Bob Mitchell, drums. Great rockabilly!
