CORA WASHINGTON - What Can I Do / Cold Blooded Women (MJ)
I really love this 45 record cause of the AMAZING tune on the a-side.
''Cold Blooded Woman'' is a nice groovy R&B Mod Funk dancer but the winner for me is the FANTASTIC emotional doomy blues gem ''What Can I Do'' from the obscure Cora Washington which is well constructed and very well performed.
I like the short rap very much and that strange noise that weaves in and out behind her (an electric tenor sax??).
The bass voice at the start is the much better known Will “Dub” Jones, who is best remembered as the bass voice in all those Coasters “playlets” that Leiber and Stoller wrote for them.
Cheapie record but it sounds as the biggie one ! Essential 45 record
This 45 first appeared on MJ which Jones ran with Lloyd McCraw, who was in the Cadets with him and this pressing seems to be the rarer one
