A terrific double-sider by David Hudson from 1987 to add the 80s Hidden Gems. On Willie Mitchell's Waylo label.
David Hudson [1987] - Let's Get Back Together [Waylo #WAYLO 3008]
I've flipped the titles around above so as to start with the flip side 'Let's Get Back Together' which is a superb deep southern soul tune reminiscent of Al Green's - Let's Stay Together (perhaps it's an answer song?) which Hudson co- wrote with Willie Mitchell.
David Hudson [1987] - Just A Feelin' [Waylo #WAYLO 3008]
A good modern soul tune co-written by Willie Mitchell and Earl Randle. A book could be written about Willie Mitchell's contribution to soul music so i won't even start, but Earl Randle is credited with around 200 songs. I assume at some point he must have been located in Chicago as he wrote many songs for Chicago based artists such as Syl Johnson, Natural Four, The Radiants and Nate Evans as well as southern soul artists such as Ann Peebles, Otis Clay, O.V. Wright, Willie Clayton, Denise LaSalle, Al Green, Jean Plum, Lynn White, Latimore and many others! To give you a flavour some of the better known songs he wrote here are some of his gems: Nate Evans - Main Squeeze, Ann Peebles - I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down / If This Is Heaven, Jean Plum - Look At The Boy / Here I Go Again
