Island Inspirations All-Stars [1995] - Don't Give Up [Island]

NB This was originally posted on ModernSoul on 31st August 2009

From the 1995 crime, comedy, parody movie 'Don't Be A Menace'. Featuring Kirk Franklin, Karen Clark-Sheard, Donald Lawrence and Hezekiah Walker. A seriously soulful lead from ex-Clark Sister, Karen Clark-Sheard and a nice looping semi-swingbeat rhythm. There are four mixes (of which the Main Mix and Church Mix are best).  The Main Mix received heavy rotation on the decks by 'Gouch' on the Modern Soul scene back in 2000 at Soul On The Real Side Bedford.
