Only previously | | issued on 2016's 100 Club anniversary single, this is its first | | digital appearance. We also used an Ashford-produced track for last | | year's 100 Club 45; an edit of the Magnificents' 'I Can Fly' (the | | original incarnation of what Jack would sing as 'I'll Fly To Your | | Open Arms' on his "Hotel Sheet" album) - presented here is the full | | version. | | | | Thanks to DJ Roger Banks' acetate and to Maxine Brown, we have the | | original Lorraine Chandler version of 'Don't Leave Me Baby', the song | | she wrote with Jack Ashford which both Maxine and Ray Gant would | | cover, the latter a notable Dave Godin Deep Soul Treasure. | | | | There are beautiful, newly discovered ballads from Billy Sha-Rae and | | Cecil Norman Jr but one sure to create a minor earthquake among Deep | | Soul fans is Eddie Parker's 1976 updating of 'Crying Clown'. | | | | Parker's overlooked Jay Walking single 'Can't You See (What You're | | Doing To Me)' sounds great, while label-mates Ray Gant & the Arabian | | Knights bring on the social comment with 'Air' & 'Don't Save Your | | Money' - both excellent Ashford songs from the 70s. | | | | Talented arranger and writer George Rountree contributed to several | | Ashford and/or Chandler songs in the first half of the 70s. Their Don | | Gardener and Baby Washington 45 'Lay A Little Lovin' On Me' was | | issued, but Brenda Cook's pretty 'Alone Again' debuts here. | | | | Back in the 60s, with Pied Piper gone, Jack placed a sultry | | instrumental workout on the Sir-Rah label which also provided a home | | for Al Gardner's 'Watch Yourself'. The Four Sonics' bittersweet and | | catchy 'Easier Said Than Done' was from this late 60s period. | | | | Group harmony tracks are provided by the Perfections and Four Sonics | | Plus One, while Billy Sha-Rae's 'I'm Gone' is the great soul stomper | | of the set. | | | | | | YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS SHIT IF YOU LIKE IT RIGHT?! | | | | | | . . | | |\/\/| | | |____| | |------------------------------=---=-======-=---=-------------------------| |===/\===============================SOUNDz==========================/\===| '--/__\--------------------------=-2013-2021-=----------------------/__\--'
