Rocky Mizell & The Sugar Rock Band [1977] - Never Never Girl [Drive #LP-103]


An album only modern soul track from Rocky Mizell that we used to hammer c 2000. Rocky Mizell only released the one self-titled album and two singles between 1976-80. 

'Never Never Girl' was also recorded the following year by George McCrae on a self titled album on T.K.  

McCrae had a worldwide #1 hit in 1974 with 'Rock Your Baby'. The song was written by Harry Casey & Richard Finch and intended for K.C. & The Sunshine Band but they couldn't reach the high notes. They decided to ask George's wife Gwen to sing it but she was late for the session so George stepped in ... and as they say the rest is history. It became one of the first disco records and topped the charts both sides of the Atlantic and I remember it vividly.
