Cynthia & The Imaginary 3 [2021] - That's What I Am (Without You) / Many Moods Of A Man [Hit And Run #HR 1532]

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.
