Emmitt Long [1969] - Call Me [Donoyia CR-101]

This is an obscure 45.  Nothing else listed for this artist. There are 3 other 45s listed for Donoyia which suggest that the label was something to do with WOKS radio station in Columbus, Georgia.  The cat. no. CR-101 on Discogs is not on label so guess must have been in dead wax.  The other 2 45s are dated 1968 and 1969 which would probably date this around the same time.  There is nothing on the label except artist, title and producer Charlie Richardson (which laughingly someone on Discogs has linked to the London 60s gangster of the same name!).

There are only 2 listed on Popsike, one from 2006 £500 and another from 2008 £760.

The only ways, apart from an original 45, to obtain it (as far as I now) is from Soul Function The Northern Soul Story CD + DVD released in 2003 or Keb Darge & Paul Weller Lost & Found compilation 2009.

Sublime crossover tune.
