Isn't it strange? I did a discography for Cynthia Girty a few months
ago after the
North Broad St release
of her single with Arenita Walker but couldn't find a sound clip for the
flip side of her Big Hit release "Many Moods Of A Man" and then,
like the proverbial London bus, two turn up one after another as it was
recently released on a Tuff City compilation "Get Your Point Over" last month and now gets a 45 reissue via Hit And Run.
To learn more about Cythia Girty I refer you to the above
discography, but in a nutshell she is a singer/songwriter from Detroit who worked
closely with Arenita Walker who were both members of 60s groups. They
were also members of P-Funk outfit Godmoma.
As part of Cynthia & The Imaginations (later named
Cynthia & The Imaginary 3 as the Imaginations were no
longer with them at that point) she released four singles. The first on
Magic City in 1969, followed by two on Blue Rock in 1969 and this, their final (and
probably best) single, on Johnnie Mae Matthews' Big Hit in 1970 which is
being reissued on Hit And Run.
The official A side "Many Moods Of A Man" was written by Girty. The 'preferred' side "That's What I Am (Without You)" was written by Temptations founding member Paul Williams (who died in
1973 from a gunshot wound which was ruled as suicide) along with Johnnie Mae Matthews and Timmy Shaw (aka Jake Hammonds Jr.), both of whom have also had records played on the NS scene.
