Recieved a batch of 45's today & in amongst them was an Atlantic demo of Benny Latimore. The plug side & the side it appears to be listed by on various sites is 'I'm Just An Ordinary Man' a ballad, but on flipping it over there is a cracking little R&B tune 'I Pity The Fool'

Maybe this is the recognised side, i don't know, if not it's well worth a listen ! Unfortunatley the house is all over the place at the moment & i haven't got the deck rigged up to the p.c because of space, else i would have put a clip up.

Just noticed that on JM's site. It's listed on there as deep soul.

So has 'I Pity The Fool' been popular at all dukester ?

I Pity The Fool - benny latimore - atlantic (demo)

After listening to it a few more times it's probably a bit to far right of R&B to be of any use on the dance floor.

Still a nice gritty bluesy number so as i've got the deck temp connected i'll post it up.

I Will post up another more in keeping with the R&B dancers too.

I pity the fool has been played at Mod clubs down here a bit. Shake and Mousetrap definitely

A nice nodder innit - one to play while people are still getting lubricated.

See what you mean Andy, it's even got the smiley going look

R&B Status Quo style

I Pity The Fool - benny latimore - atlantic (demo)

I prefer Bobby Bland's version. I would think either version could be played, probably at the start of an evening when filling the dance floor isn't essential.
