In the last post I put up 4 tracks from Gene Chandler's 'The Girl Don't Care' album. It reminded me of his earlier 45 'What Now' from 1964 written by Curtis Mayfield. This, in turn, reminded me of Loleatta Holloway's superb rendition from her 'Loleatta' album from 1976 on Gold Mind (released on Salsoul in UK).

Another great deep cut from 'Loleatta' is the Sam Dees / Sandra LaVerne Drayton penned 'Worn Out Broken Heart' which he recorded himself in 1974 on Atlantic.

The other side of this is well worth checking out too - a fantastic modern soul tune 'Come Back Strong' a long time favourite on the modern soul scene that's been played for decades.
Sam Dees is a prolific writer of good quality soul music. The list of great songs he's written is endless so I won't even start, suffice to say if you see anything he's been involved in just buy it blind, you'll rarely be disappointed.
