Those good people at Ace released the classic 60s album by
The Hesitation
"Soul Superman" digitally on 24 Sep 2021.
Originally released as their debut album in 1967 on Kapp. The group
disbanded in 1968 after the death of one of the members George
"Scott" King but not before they had already released four albums. Their
biggest hit being a gospel inspired version of "Born Free" which was the
title track of their third album in 1968.
Most of the tracks on the album were written by Jack Ashford (a member of
The Funk Brothers) and his writing partner Lorraine Chandler who went under
her writing pseudonym Ermastine Lewis.
Several tracks on the album were picked up on by the UK Northern soul
scene, not least "That's The Way Love Is" which uses the same backing as Eddie Parker's ultra rare 1966 outing on
Aware "I'm Gone", which is not surprising as Ashford & Lewis wrote the
original. Another 'biggie' was "I'm Not built That Way" along with the superb "She Won't Come Back" and the title track "Soul Superman".
