Thanks for the tip Ste. that was a new Larry Williams tune for me!

Thanks Robbk, that's what I thought!

Thanks a lot Ez! So then you might agree that “society hill” is just a metaphor for the finer part of a town? And maybe he used "steel mill" cos it fits?

Thanks a lot Kenb, it answers my question! So even if the 45 is released on a Chicago label, the "story" is from Philadelphia

Hi soul sourcers I’m writing a book where I use lyrics from soul 45s, and Tony Clarkes’ “Poor Boy”, on Chess records, is one of them. He’s using the word “society hill” and I was sure it was just an metaphor for the finer part of a town, but searching for it, I found out that it was (might be?) a famous neighborhood in Center City Philadelphia, PA. So, what do you think, is he singing about Philadelphia? Is there a “valley by an old steel mill” close to Center City? I’d appreciate any help! “You can look, but brother don’t you touch/ Go ahead and care, it can’t matter very much/

You got a PM!

Still looking. Good trades or cash!
