Good God - Hometown edition

Found a X-ian 50s/60s or so record: Jim Armstrong Sings THE TENDER TOUCH. Jim lists his hometown as my (former) hometown Wendleton Road, Troy, MI.

It's less pious and inert than many religious records of its time and Jim sings a bit with a neutered Elvis swagger and a charming soft-rock-abilly touch.

Can anyone solve this mystery?
