It's by a female singer or group (probably group). Ballad sort, I'd say crossover, quite Motowny. Sings: "I'd change everything about me, how I dress and what I say. I'd do anything to please him, I want to please him every day..." Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Solution The Yank Posted May 19, 2016 Solution Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) The song is "For The Love Of Mike" by Patrice Holloway. It was recorded in February, 1965 and was unreleased. It's available on "This Is Northern Soul Volume 2" (Debutante) or "Love And Desire- The Patrice Holloway Anthology" (Ace / Kent). I don't think it was released legitimately on vinyl.

The title is Mike, but most of the the time she she sings mine except when there's a rhyme with 'like' There's a studio acetate of it, which exists because it never got returned to the manufactures to be re-coated (it was cheaper to re-coat than buy a new one at the time) Edited May 21, 2016 by simon t Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Singing different lyrics doesn't help much haha. That's really interesting, the story behind the record there. So you think there's just one recorded vinyl copy?

She did have a vinyl release on the Motown subsidiary V.I.P. - Stevie / (He is)The Boy of My Dreams, but there are very few copies of it about. Patrice is top right in the picture above; I believe her recording career was cut short due to mental health issues Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
