Last week, on a quiet day for new releases, I posted a Lamont Dozier
produced album by Ben. E. King from 1976 mainly for the title track "Let Me Live In Your Life" which is an album only cut.
Regular blog reader BlueSky left a comment that it was in fact
originally recorded by The Originals on their 1975 "California Sunset" album (again an album only track) also produced by Lamont Dozier. I
should have recalled that, as I have the album, but thanks for reminding
me.
He also pointed out that a couple of other tracks also feature on both albums (i.e. "Fifty Years" and "Sweet Rhapsody") and another three tracks from the Ben E. King album are featured on Lawrence Hilton Jacobs 1978 self-titled album which I'll have to try and dig out. Purely coincidentally, another song by The Originals was posted the
same day as Ben E. King i.e. "I'm Someone Who Cares".
There are few other nice cuts on the album (including, but not restricted
to, "Financial Affair", "Why'd You Lie", "Good Lovin' Is Just A Dime Away"), which was released on the cusp of the birth of Disco, so here's
the full album.
Only one single was released from the album "Good Lovin' Is Just A Dime Away" c/w "Nothing Can Take The Place (Of Your Love)", although it would appear that "Fifty Years" c/w "Financial Affair" was scheduled for release but remained unreleased.
