Also a version by Garland Green on Revue

I must admit I didn’t know it until mark speakman showed it me

I haven’t bern a regular attendee on the events side of things since the early 90s , just an avid collector

Great tune me thinks

Got a couple of other 45s by him on federal that are decent , welcome to the club and when you move you loose , I probably need to find out more

Think I've got 8 or 9 45s by LEE SHOT WILLIAMS, brilliant under-rated talent, check out his ' Baby, baby' on JEWEL Records, lovely deep weepie, or 'We're gonna make it', an early 70's? mover on OUTTA SIGHT Records, or a great cheapie on CHELSEA AVE Records, ' Are you leaning me'

I remember the flip and Jo Armstead's screaming soul passion. My blood pressure went up when I heard it, and still does, an absolute belter and seldom played as most of us cannot keep up.

Yeah good call , great double sider

Don’t know why I didn’t mention the great flip , storming R&B

Not an artist I know very well and it's new these ears, great tune needs more needle time

One of my fave Lee "Shot" tunes, Are You Leaving Me, on Chelsea. Can pick up trom under a tenner.

Here's another version of "Tighten Up..." with Lee and Gerri Taylor -

Great song , always wanted one but I got a Charles Farren demo and Garland Green LP instead.
