We are just in the process of compiling some of the best tunes of 2006 for the
next instalment of 21st Century Soul which has been dormant for a couple
of weeks owing to holidays. This one from Glenn Jones' 2006 album "Forever:
Timeless R&B Classics" stood out.
It's a cover of a song "You're Sweet, You're Fine, You're Everything"
written by James Sawyer who was a member of Tomorrow's Promise who recorded
it for Capitol in Aug 1973 reaching #31 R&B.
Sawyer was a Vietnam veteran who served two tours of duty there. Later in life he became a deacon. He died in 2013 aged 68.
It's a very cheap and easy record to pick up on vinyl, depending on condition. If it were rare then this would almost definitely sell for big bucks! Tomorrows Promise released just five singles between 1973-75, three on Capitol followed by two on Mercury, before disbanding.
Here are both versions of the song.
We did a feature on Glenn Jones last year for his 60sth birthday, yet somehow managed to miss this gem from the playlist of 30 of his best songs!
