Crying In The Night - The Monitors

[Brillo]

Can anyone tell me more of this history of this track and was it ever released on vinyl other than the Soul Beat and repro copies floating around? I think it's an unreleased gem!

Cheers

Thanks Jaco, as I thought. Wanted to be sure before I bought a repro that the original wasn't ever likely to be in my grasp!

Amazing how so many of the greatest records were made in '66. This is one of my favourite Motown songs, just hate the fact there is not an original single to own, truly haunting and emotional. PERFECT NORTHERN SOUL!!! from the big boss....

That is so true about 1966! Probably half of my top 50 tunes are from that year and as for this beauty I would rather hear this out than Frank Wilson for the millionth time anyday....

Been Chatting to Richard Street a few times on the phone , he is willing to do a one off night live on stage The Monitors for me with the track list which we agreed is

Number one in your heart , say you , serve yourself a cup of Happiness , since i lost you girl , Share a little love ,and of course Crying in the night .

if only i could get a top promoter to help me with the cost and fees ... what a great night this would be , maybe it will happen

I'd pay good money to see that, but more if "Just To Keep You Satisfied" was on the list.......their best recording IMHO..
