Just had a nice little session to celebrate the first Sunday afternoon of 2010...

3 45s that did it for me this afternoon were...

'My baby love' THE TEMPREES - WE PRODUCE W/D

Cracking mid 70s dancer, great vocal and superb mellow backbeat. Ultra Soulful record that actually mentions 'disco nights' at one point but is a Soul record through and through.

'Miracle Woman' THE IMPRESSIONS - CURTOM

Nice, Jazzy midtempo stepper that has that summer feel, which is something that seems a long way away right now! Feel good laid back Soul with a terrific production onboard. Flip side 'Sooner or later' (Which I think is the official A?) is a great moody 70'S chugger too.

''He came into my life' MARGIE JOSEPH - ATLANTIC

Another record with that blue skies and warm breeze feeling, the flip to 'Come on back to me lover' and another floaty mover penned by JOHNNY BRISTOL. Some great EMOTIONS style backing vocals going on, never played this tune before today and very glad I did.

What did it for you on the first Sunday of a New Year?

Yeah, Miracle Woman, what a tune, the flip is on a different album from "Miracle", "Sooner" is on the "First Impressions" set and I am certain "Miracle" is from the "This is my country" set which also provides the impressive "Look what I got" all in all a great group.

Yeah I always remember 'Sooner' from that 'First Impressions' album, which I still play sometimes, but which side was the A on the CURTOM US issue, any idea? Just played the CURTOM US 'Soulful love' which also came out here on Black BUDDAH, another lovely mellow record, yeah, fantastic group.

First three that I played

H.B. Barnum - Gotta go - Capitol (Beat ballad-tastic)

Emotions - So I can love you - Volt (literally found this in a pile in the cupboard last night and can't stop playing it)

Aretha Franklin - I can't see myself leaving you - Atlantic (Goosebumps every time).

Happy days

gary

That EMOTIONS 45 is beautiful, I played it non stop for about a week too when I got it. One of the great under rated acts in my view and that particular record is top drawer...Bet you won't stuff it away in a cupboard again!
