I used to be a JB fanatic along with all his funky people and had not all (nearly impossible) but a huge amount of JB produced vinyl at one point.

Reading between the lines it appears to be a relatively known record amongst the soul fraternity? but was this ever played out/on a radio DJ set?, or never simply because it's a common and dirt-cheap? how do people rate it as a NS tune?
Any stories/thoughts of this just for interest or are my ears broken? and it's actually a crap song and I'm the only one that rates it on this forum? - Negative comments will NOT offend me!
