Barbara Hall [1975] - Drop My Heart Off At The Door / You Brought It On Yourself [Innovation II #IV-9162]

A superb double-sider by Barabara Hall from 1975. The flip side has the modern soul tune 'You Brought It On Yourself' written by Sam Dees which I think first got played at Blackpool Mecca.  Flip it over for a killer deep soul cut written by Frederick Knight and Sam Dees.  This side was also recorded the same year by Ben E. King and appears be only a UK & German release on 45 on the flip to 'Happiness Is Where You Find It', it was also on his 'Supernatural' album.

This was her only single to receive a UK release.

Barbara Hall came from Atlanta, GA, and her sister Sandra is a blues singer. She released just six singles, three on Atlanta based Tuska label, in late 60s/early 70s, and the featured 45 was her second and last release on Innovation II. Her final single was released seven years later in 1982 on Debut as 12" which I believe is a version of Etta James' 'Tell Mama' written by Clarence Carter.

Discogs states that she was earlier known as Jessie Mae who released two singles on DRA in 1962, the first of which ('Don't Freeze On Me') is an R&B rocker which has been bootlegged.

She passed away in Nov 2006.
