Is this fabulous piece of Northern Soul well known? Was it ever played on the scene...anywhere!!

First heard it on a tape from years back (Flynny?) and jumped at the chance to buy it when the opportunity arose.

Super dooper tune!!

"You know I busted my back....just to buy you a pink Cadillac, you took it back cause you wanted black! What I gotta do to satisfy you'....

I used to put it on tapes as 'Ray Agee'.

Not seen a stock copy, but have seen slight label variations of font on WD's.

Hugh's name pops up within credits on quite a few albums...he plays guitar.

A strong R'n'B pounder, as some may say.

Yes...and I had one of those tapes!!

Hugh has played guitar with B.B King, not much sign of his guitar playing on this tune though....great vocals I reckon!
