funk soul vocal ~ Louisville, KY 1968

An obscure funk side dancer with a bit of a stripped down sound. Credited as a writer, I believe this was Dede Townsend's only 45 recorded and released. The flip side is 'This Is Our Life'.
Couldn't find more info on musicians backing. The small Derby-City label released a total of only two 45 rpm records as a label. Both recorded and pressed in 1968, the other being, The Heartbreakers - I've Got To Face It/How Do You Say Goodbye.

Chicago born singer songwriter, Rosemarie 'Timothy' Yuro recorded and released over two dozen 45s, most through the 60s. Recorded in London, this song was released originally only in the UK, as a B-side on the Liberty label. This United Artists 45 reissue is the same 1968 recording pressed sometime in the 2000s.
Many of Timi Yuro's recorded sides reflect more of a straightforward pop vocal sound, to my ears anyhow. But vocally, Timi Yuro really had a lot of range. 'It'll Never Be Over For Me' also appears on her 1968 LP, 'Something Bad On My Mind'. Side and song, a 45 with a beautiful performance and production of blue-eyed soul and one of her finer moments.

From 1962 through the early 80s, singer-songwriter Bobby Goldsboro recorded and released over sixty 45 rpm records.
Starting out in the early 60s as a guitarist in Roy Orbison's band, he also hosted his own TV variety show in the early 70s.
Known for his sweet and often sentimental pop tunes, he also has had many soulful, well-crafted pop songs, many crossing over into a more northern soul sound.

Found this a couple of years ago in a "rock-pop" long box at Amoeba Records here in San Francisco. A misfiled mistake? Don't know.
John Holt did some great covers.
This is a US press of the same Studio One recording from 1970.
Great Neil Diamond cover.

Remembering Motörhead ...
45 rpm ? Not this time, but a rippin' LP track, and another cautionary tale I "rediscovered" from their 1995 recording - 'Sacrifice'. Recorded in Los Angeles, this record is getting harder to find in any format now.
" In my life so far, I have discovered that there are really only two kinds of people: those who are for you, and those who are against you. Learn to recognize them, for they are often and easily mistaken for each other. "
