... and nice (little know?) stepper from 1978 on the small Mier label:

 

Here's a 45 somehow 'missed' in Dave's discog from 1980 on Golden Ear 2286 Catch That Plane / Believe In Me (reissue from Checker 1149 (1966))

 

I do not think anyone has put up this classic yet so....

 

Not Soul,I know,but he also cut some stunning rockin'  Blues for Sun in Memphis in the early 50's like 'If You Love Me'  and 'Lookin' For My Baby'(with great guitar work from Milton) as well as the delightful Fats Domino-styled 'Beggin' My Baby'. Yes,he was one fine and versatile artist.

 

 

 

Here's Little Milton's great version of Jesse James' - You Ought To Be Here With Me' from 1980 on Golden Ear (penned by James Blumberg - not to be confused with Annette Snell's (on Dial) which is a different song written by Paul Kelly)

 

Trying not to post 'too obvious' ones so here's a modern deep soul / stepper from 1983 'Age AIn't Nothin' But A Number' on MCA 45:  ... a message getting more relevant to us all now 🙂 

 

Great artist with a fantastic back catalogue. 50 years making great music.

You could drop a needle on almost anything he recorded and hit on a top track but i really liked a lot of his later recordings for Malaco.

This is a real gem.....
