RIP Freddie Houston
Revered New York soul singer
David Cole from In The Basement on-line magazine gave me the news that Freddie Houston has died. Lou Johnson got the news and passed it on.
Freddie typified NYC soul of the early 60s and is best known for his big beat ballads such as 'If I Had Known' (featured on the attached CD scan) and 'Chills And Fever' on Old Town, 'Soft Walking' on Toto and 'Love, Love, Love' on Whiz-On. He was also a very popular artist on the Popcorn scene with his Carlton and Captain releases. He sang with the popular vocal group the 'Laddins in his early career.
