    Looks like this was recorded before Redding's version. Not on Youtube.

    Rosemont doesn't have it either, but he said it's coming out soon on a Bear Family CD by Wayne Cochran. Maybe the singer was part of his group or something?

    My Google search on Billy Leach turned up no results to speak of.

    Rosemont doesn't have it either, but he said it's coming out soon on a Bear Family CD by Wayne Cochran. Maybe the singer was part of his group or something?

    There's a G+ copy available on Discogs for $95.

    Well if this is him I doubt that the record is any good. It's probably country.

    Andrew Hickey, on his A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs podcast, mentioned this recording in February.

    https://500songs.com/podcast/episode-163-sittin-on-the-dock-of-the-bay-by-otis-redding/#more-1667

    This is what he said about it:

    "Redding and Smith continued collaborating, and there were plans for Redding to put out a second single on Orbit. That single was going to be 'These Arms of Mine', a song Redding had originally given to another Confederate artist, a rockabilly performer
    called Buddy Leach (who doesn’t seem to be the same Buddy Leach as the Democratic politician from Louisiana, or the saxophone player with George Thorogood and the Destroyers). Leach had recorded it as a B-side, with the slightly altered title 'These
    Arms Are Mine'. Sadly I can’t provide an excerpt of that, as the record is so rare that even websites I’ve found by rockabilly collectors who are trying to get everything on Confederate Records haven’t managed to get hold of copies."

    fwiw, Otis Redding, Wayne Cochran, and Billy Leach, all had a record
    released on the Confederate label (in Macon, Georgia) in 1962

    When I bought the Redding record as an Atlantic Oldies reissue in 1989, it too gave the title as "These Arms Are Mine."
