Gates, Grills & Railings

Gates, Grills & Railings is the nineteenth studio album by American singer Bobby Vee, released in March 1969 by Liberty Records. His final album for the label, it features one single, "(I'm Into Lookin' For) Someone to Love Me". Dallas Smith arranged and produced the album.

It features originals and covers such as "One", "Younger Generation", and the early recordings of "I Just Can't Help Believing" (which would become huge hits for B. J. Thomas and Elvis Presley in 1970). It also includes songs by John Sebastian, Harry Nilsson, David Gates, and Mark Marvin, along with a number of self-penned songs.

Vee also covers Cliff Richard's album track "London's Not Too Far"; Marvin was the lead guitarist of Richard's backing band the Shadows. The single, "(I'm Into Lookin' For) Someone to Love Me" made its debut on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on December 28, 1968, eventually spending one week at number 98 during its three-week stay, number 92 on the Cashbox singles chart, and number 84 in Canada. This marked Vee's last album to featured a charting single.

The album was released on compact disc by Beat Goes On on August 7, 2006 as tracks 1 through 12 on a pairing of two albums on one CD with tracks 13 through 23 consisting of Vee's 1972 album under His Birth Name Robert Thomas Velline, Nothin' Like a Sunny Day.
