I Ain't No Miracle Worker

"I Ain't No Miracle Worker" is a song by the American garage rock band, the Brogues, written by Annette Tucker and Nancie Mantz, and released as the group's second and final single on Challenge Records, in November 1965 (see 1965 in music).

The Brogues reworked Tucker's original instrumental arrangement with a jangling Byrds-inspired rhythm section and fuzz-toned guitar melody.

In addition to the striking guitar motif, the song is also marked by Cole's soulful vocal, Rick Campbell's electronic organ interjections, and Bill Whittington's heavy bass line.

Upon release however, the single failed to breakout nationally as a consequence of the record company's advertising focus being directed toward The Knickerbockers' hit, "Lies".
