Word from Hayley Records in our soul markt about two great 45 releases , both are available right now - purchase details at the end
DEON JACKSON Happily ever after/(You've got) The power of love HR034
Two more previously unreleased tracks from one of Detroit's favourite sons - DEON JACKSON.
'Happily ever after' was originally recorded by Len Barry but found its way to Detroit and producer Ollie McLoughlin and arranger Mike Terry in the mid 1960s.
The flip '(You've got) the power of love' was written by CAPITOLS member Richard McDougall but never recorded by the group. It did gain a release by The ESQUIRES under the title 'You got the power'
GROOVESVILLE PLAYERS Don't hurt me / AL KENT ORCHESTRA The way you've been acting lately HR035
Another fantastic discovery in the form of the backing track to 'Sweet Sherry' and 'Has it happened to you yet' under it's original title 'Don't hurt me'. Who it was intended for or what the original lyrics were are unknown.
Backed with another classic - the original backing track to 'The way you've been acting lately' complete with false start and no background singers.
