Everytime I spin Eddie Carltons 'it shall be done' on Swan Records then a personal BIG BIG FAVE of mine Lorenzo Manleys 'swoop down on ya' on Original Sound Records it never ceases to amaze me just how similar the intro's are and the various soundings in the back-ups on each 45.

Any thoughts at all

wow they are similar!

haven't heard Lorenzo in years, and didn't know t'other one

Cheers Kirsty

yeah very similar in my opinion but Lorenzo Manley I first heard in 1971 when our kid bought a copy back from a venue.I still have it and it brings back special memories for me.

Great track as well the Eddie Carlton dontcha think

Seem to remember reading somewhere that at the recording session Lorenzo's voice was deemed not up to it and that Gene Dozier is the actual vocalist on "Swoop Down", he was also involved in production of the session.

You'll do for me - I love it when men do as they're told

Four Larks reminds me of John Kingham - can just picture him dancing - only actually understood about 20% of what he said though

Oooooh you are a one Kirsty

Certainly heard Lorenzo Manley at the Mecca but it's origins may have been elsewhere.

I was always intrigued by the title and artist's name which as a 16 yr old seemed somehow very exotic! Many unusually named artists and titles have come and gone since but I definitely remember this one with affection. Not heard the other track but will listen to the soundclip if available.
