Little Milton did a version in case you didn’t know:

Never knew it was the same track? Shoved on a B side two years after the LP was released by the looks of it. nice one. How about this one:

I had this on Melony, bought blind in a job lot years ago. I knew nothing about it and for years it sat in the back of a box. I could never find any info on it back then. Sold it back to the states a couple of years back.

Completely agree with you on that Robb

I’m not convinced he’d have been a good fit at Motown, like Chuck Jackson. Jackie is Jackie and his Brunswick releases are of the highest quality. I’m happy to have them. Awesome singer.

Thanks for that Dave.

I prefer the Bobby Shannon version.........but not sure I prefer it enough to pay an extra £550 for it!

Interesting singer who adopted styles in a way I can’t think of any other black singers (but happy to be proved wrong)

Some dealers in the States don’t like declaring low value, which they often get asked for by UK buyers, because of the potential hassle/loss if higher price items go missing. Also the hassle of a Brit winning an auction and then not paying for it because dealer won’t declare low value (coz they didn’t check upfront). I think some even see it as unpatriotic to declare low value, funny how they’re happy to take PayPal f&f as payment though to avoid the fees!

But is it any good ?

Discogs shows one sold in August this year but it looks like that’s the only one and no others for sale.

I used to like Jimmy Burns version, but to be honest they all sound so so to me these days.
