Alexander Morris [2021] - Isn't She A Pretty Girl [Izipho Soul #ZP66 / Angel Dove]

The new single from Alexander Morris, and follow up to 'Love Is Knockin', has been released digitally on BandCamp by Izipho Soul.

It is a fantastic version of Ronnie McNeir's classic Northern Soul double-sider originally released on De-To in 1966 which has this side along with 'Sitting In My Class'. A better Detroit double-sider would be hard to find, and this release on original vinyl is now well into four figures and approaching £2k .. if you were fortunate to find one!

Alexander Morris, a current member of the Four Tops, does a fine and authentic, rendition. The musicianship is second to none as they are the same musicians who currently back the Four Tops and The Temptations led by Earl Van Dyke Jr.

Ronnie McNeir is also currently a member of the Four Tops and gifted the song to Alexander to record. The other members of the current Four Tops line-up are original member Abdul 'Duke' Fakir and Lawrence Payton Jr. the son of original member Lawrence Payton. 

I contacted Patrick Biggerstaff at Izipho Soul to find out more about the two Alexander Morris releases, and he informed me that they are scheduled for release on vinyl later in the year, with a tentative date of August due to the current climate. The first release will be 'Love Is Knockin' flipped with 'Isn't She A Pretty Girl', so keep your eyes on Izipho Soul website for pre-orders as I would expect this combination of sides to sell out quickly as both are top quality sides.

Angel Dove is owned by Marlin McNichols who notified the world of the demise of Lou Wilson (Edwards) via his facebook, which I posted earlier today.
