James Holvay [2021] - Working On It / Love Has Found A Way / Sweet Soul Song [MOB Town] (Full EP)

A new 3 track EP released on 10 Mar 2021 from 76 year old James 'Jimmy Soul' Holvay who was an original member of Chicago blue-eyed soul group The Mob. 

He recaptures that 60s Chicago soul sound.  'Working On It' and 'Love Has Found It's Way' have a Tyrone Davis feel about them and I'm fairly sure the latter has Tyrone Davis sample in there (is it 'Can I Change My Mind'?), and Sweet Soul Song is reminiscent of The Impressions,

He recorded his first record in 1957 aged 12.  He is a prolfic songwriter, writing most of The Mob's songs and also for The Buckinghams (he co-wrote the wonderful blue-eyed soul tune 'Don't You Care' with Gary Beisbier, fellow Mob member).

Over 20 years ago James sent me a CDr promo of some songs he'd written and recorded, which I don't think were ever released. I'll need to dig the CD out and perhaps, with his permission, post the songs on my YT channel.
