Edward Armstead Jr. AKA Eddie Hill RIP


Recommended Posts

I am sorry if this has been covered before and have only found out recently about Eddie's passing in 2019

He only outed a few singles in Detroit but I never knew about him until now and thought we ought to know

I have danced lots to his tunes.....RIP SIR

This is the CD and I would be interested to know as well ....never seen 45

Thanks for that - just looked it up on Ace/Kent site and this is an extract from Ady's notes on the CD release:

" Having periodically given the Joe Matthews and Eddie Hill tracks featured here a spin on the ole DAT machine and having seen them listed in the Westbound discography, I’m afraid I took them rather for granted as staple Detroit soul releases. In researching this CD further it transpired that the tracks had probably never made it to vinyl, though there is a possibility Joe Matthews’ may have been on a test pressing or demo that has never turned up. That gives this release more importance because these are very good tracks from important local artists, that virtually nobody will have previously heard; as are others featured here."
