A marvellous crossover tune from the Masters Of Soul with one of the singers sounding
remarkably similar to Marvin Junior of The Dells. It was released as the
flip side to a hauntingly deep version of
'By The Time I Get To Phoenix'.
The Masters of Soul were originally know as The Royal Masters who released a
single on Guyden in 1963.
They released their next single in 1968 on
Houston's Ovide label as The Masters Of Houston. The record got a national
release on Capitol with their name changed to Masters Of Soul. Another 45
was released on Capitol only.
They cut five 45s for Ovide before moving to
Duke in 1972 where they released a further three singles up to 1973.
They released a total of around nine singles between 1963-73, but sadly none of them dented the US R&B charts.
The group members were Eddie Webb, Fred Kibble, Harold Hopkins, Clarence
Bellard and Tom McPherson (who replaced Jerry Porter in 1968).
