Cheers Simon! That's one file I've been looking for for a long time. It sounds like the original to me, although the last time I heard it was when I found two copies in East L.A. in '76!

Great rekid!

I got to admit Ive not heard before, but still think its 'average' compared with other similar style tunes. The voice is not strong enough. JMO

Charles Russell has an awesome voice on other sweet soul records, he sings lead on the four dudes on sivad-j, image on janus, and new image (on bionic and other labels). He has a strange sounding, very distinctive voice.

The "Psyche" version was an old Cleggy spin, only ever really heard it played there. I remember Russ playing the "Bionic" version at Wigan a few times it sounded dreadful.....

JM auctioned a Psyche copy not so long back, someone got a bargain as it never seems to turn up..
