Johnny Moore [1969] - Your Love Is Fadin' [Mercury#72939]


Chicago's Johnny Moore was a much overlooked artist, not to be confused with the singer of the same name who was lead singer of The Drifters.  He wrote this song with Jack Daniels who set up the 4 Brothers label in Chicago.  The high point of his career was writing 'Turn Back The Hands Of Time' which was made a hit by Tyrone Davis.

Many of his recordings are held in esteem on the UK rare soul scene. This is probably one of his lesser known ones which was on the flip side to 'There Will Never Be Another You' and released on Mercury in 1969. From what I can tell none of his records had any success even on the US R&B chart.
