The third forthcoming vinyl release from Kent Select features a
previously unreleased track (until it featured on "Westbound Detroit Northern Soul" (2010) and then "Masterpieces Of Modern Soul Vol 3" (2011)) by Eddie Hill "I Am So Thankful". As far as I can tell he only released three singles, all on
different Detroit labels (Ge Ge, Thelma and M-S), between 1965-68 and,
as you'd expect, all have that mid 60s Detroit feel but none registered
on the R&B chart. I found some vintage black and white footage of
him performing "Baby I Cried", the B side of his first single in 1965.
The flip side was featured recently in a playlist for the heavenly
birthday for
Ivory Tilmon
of The Detroit Emeralds. It's an album only track "Long Live The King" from "Do Me Right" which I think, if I remember correctly, Steve Plumb started playing around 20 or
more years ago.
Available to pre-order from Ace/Kent for release on 28 Oct 2022.

The sixties in Detroit. What a time it was!!! 2 great tracks. The Eddie Hill can also be found on a magnificent Westbound Detroit Northern Soul CDKEND 332 compilation released in 2010.
