Willie Mallory [1968] - You Went Back On What You Said [Lanor #539]


The last of three singles he released on Lee Lavergne's Lanor label based in Church Point, LA, in 1968-69. Prior to that he released a single on a local Tifton, GA, label Jim Bar in 1966 aged 15, the A side of  which 'I'll Be Your Jim' was re-recorded for the flip of this release (a bit of a popcorn tune). That song, as with this one, was also written and produced by James Theus who owned Jim Bar. 

This tune sounds like a mid 60s Chicago skip-a-long. On his other recordings he sounds quite like Sam Cooke.

He also recorded two singles as a duo with Barbara Davis (his wife) in the 70s, on T.K. in 1973 and Clarence Reid's Reid's World label in 1977.
