First time on 7". I can't believe this was actually issued on one of those George Clinton & Family albums in the early 90's. Probably sold about 10 copies as it was Volume 4.....

Recorded in Detroit in '79 by all accounts. Tremendous vocal from Levi and great song - the proper title is "Love Enough To Care". Could be another "Prayin'".....?

Hi Ian It says on the album that the title is 'To care', is that wrong then? Why would they put a wrong title on an album??

This can and does happen. On our license agreement from the guy who wrote and produced it, and the master it says "Love Enough To Care"

Hiya Steve,

Those albums were pretty much cobbled together from so many out-takes and unreleased sessions that the correct information probably got obscured in the process. Plus the album in question was the fourth volume so "To Care" was probably the working title that had been written on the tapes I presume.

All they had to do was listen to the track LOL. It is the chorus after all.......

bloody superb -please put the link up on here and on the crossover thread to purchase -ive posted the soundclip link on the xover thread-this is a superb record!!!

BAZ A

Glad ya like it Baz. I couldn't believe that such a great Levi Stubbs vocal was buried away in these sessions. Apparently the Four Tops were working in the studio next door and heard the song and insisted that they do a version! I presume this was cut after they left ABC and prior to them going to Casablanca.......

Great track - Good luck with this fellas thumbsup.gif

Flanny was the first person I heard playing this. He played it at the Orwell many moons ago and me, Baz & Steve Connor all went and bought it on Vol 4 the day after! It got many a hammering after that. Think the boys at Soul in the Sun got onto it too! Cracking little dancer!

btw The LP has another version of Fantastic Four's 'Live up to what she thinks' (by Funkadelic I think?) It's surprisingly good too, although not in same league as FF orig!

Cheers

Great track, although I'm biased of course because I like anything featuring Levi Stubbs.

And don't overlook the last Soul Intention single by The Superlatives. Well worth checking out and featuring the eternal favourite 'I Still Love You' on the flip side - sounding better than you've ever heard it before.

Hello Dante,

You'll be pleased to know the Soul Intention 7" will be a remixed and edited version.

Best wishes,

Paul

This got quite a few plays in London at "A New Chapter" .

The person that put me on to this (and who might have some info) was Martin Adams from the South Coast

Just listened to the re-edit for approval.

It is phenomenal!

It will receive it's world debut at Dewsbury Town Hall, may 1st.

Will have to be off a carver as we won't have test presses in time.

I'm overwhelmed listening to it.

Glad you like it.

I played the remix to a couple of mates who popped in yesterday (Mike Lofthouse and Mike Charlton) and they both gave it the "thumbs up".

There's gonna be strong interest in this.
