Ollie Nightingale [1971] - I Don't Know Why [Sounds Of Memphis 105]
Ollie Hoskins was with gospel group The Dixie Nightingales who later changed their name to Ollie & The Nightingales when they turned secular in 1968 on Stax. In 1970 he decided to leave to go solo and was replaced by Tommy Tate.
A great cover version by Lynn White from 1993 which appears to be on 12" only (i.e. no 7" release). It was included on her 1993 album 'Cheatin' on the same Memphis based label.
