The Shortcuts were students at Ursuline College in Pepper Pike, OH, when Carlton Records released their sole single "I'll Hide My Love" with B-side "Don't Say He's Gone" in 1959. It made a little noise in some areas, but never broke out. Member Mary Ellen Keegan wrote both sides, the other members are unknown; Carlton never issued another single and the group disbanded to concentrate on school. ~ Andrew Hamilton, All Music Guide
