FYSA...

I usually don't buy LPs, but found a mint copy of "going back to detroit" for a couple bucks. the songs "I can't get used sharing you" and especially "why do you wanna make me blue" are SOOOOOO amazing. i checked "soulfulkindamusic" and it says the only singles released from this LP are "with this ring/if i had a love" and "shing-a-ling-a-loo/on the top of my mind." the first single choice makes sense - but the second is comprised of easily the two worst songs on the record. just childish pop garbage (IMHO) what kind of crack were they smoking at Musicor????

Condolences. Far, far too young.

Little Jewel - I want to (Tay-ster) Malibus - strong love (Sure shot) Wallace Johnson - if you leave me (Sansu) Leroy Horne - don't come back (Pompeii) Kenny Hamber - looking for a love (Arctic) Bobbie Brown - i gotta have you (Jacklyn) Exsaveyons - i don't love you no more (Smoke) Samuel Moore - i'm so jealous (Daran) Tears - good luck my love (Smash) Ella Fitzgerald - get ready (Reprise) Antwans - aint no love (Snawtna) Jimmy Ellis - gotta see my baby (Hipdelic) Eddie Ray - glad i found you (prix) Little Edith - couldn't take it (Jessica) Debbie Taylor - don't let it end (GWP) Godoy Colbert - baby i like it (Revue) Beulah Palmer - my man in Vietnam (Bem Sole)

has Milton James been booted?

off topic...but so funny. i just bought the same Charley Patton t-shirt he is wearing in this picture at local thrift store! i wear it to the gym.

I have this one as well as the Keymen. Mine is the same take as video #2. Does anyone know if video #1 is, indeed, the JayBoy?

i play it in sunny California! spun it just last friday.

mine sounds like the second video, and mine is Keymen

I just noticed that these two versions of "what is this" have totally different female backing vocals. For example, at 50 second in, the second video has a distinctive "whoo" that is missing in the first. My copy of this record matches the second video.

just picked up a second copy of this cuz someone was selling it cheap and i love it! it has the most amazing horn break.

just got this. love all these gritty sansu tunes!

i can't find a video on youtube, but "lend a helping heart" by joan moody is an awesome big beat. it is the flip of this nice northern tune which i will post just cuz i love it...

I think this sound is defined by big, lush, urbane production/arrangement - but also has a heavy, pronounced mid-tempo dance beat embedded in it. I think combining these attributes results in really classy, dramatic songs - especially when coupled with super-powerful female vocals. others feel free to chime in. just my take on it...

i just heard "time for everything" by Eldridge Holmes on Alon. Is it the same backing track as "two winters long" by Irma Thomas on Minit? (minus the organ)

here it is. got it for $40. has "let me prove that i love you" on flip

mine is on ATCO. i can post a pic when i get home (stuck in LAX airport)

I have a white label copy that i acquired pretty cheaply. does anyone know if this was booted, and (if so) how one would tell?

thanks guys!

I was reading the "Gospel According to Dave Godin (#1) and it said Nella Dodds' version of this song was the first release. Is that true?

that looks crazy FUN!

and this Carmen Cole...

been a couple Barbara Banks put up, but this is a real crackerjack "living in the past"

this is a great female double sider this side is big beat (but not so much a ballad) this is just a ballad (not big beat, but still great)
