Leroy Allen [2022] - I've Never Found A Girl (To Love Me Like You Do) [J-Town Records]

Leroy Allen is from Houston, TX, and was a member of the male group The Symphonics (there was a female group with the name who recorded on Brunswick and ABC) who later became God's Gift To Women who recorded two singles in the 70s, the first on A-I (dist. by All Platinum) followed by another on Listening Post.

In the 80s he formed Perfect Timin' and released an album and three singles on T.S.O.T. (The Sound Of Texas).

In more recent times he's released a number of singles including a cover of Rockie Robbins' "You And Me" in Apr 2021, and Tesla Groove released a pair of songs on 7" "You're The Best" which was featured on an album released in Apr 2020 ("Leroy Allen & Evette Busby - CMN Records Presents The Singers") and "I Love You" which was released as a single in 2020. His last single, "You're That Kinda Woman", (Apr 2022) passed me by so is included below.

He is back with another cover, this time of the Eddie Floyd song "I've Never Found A Girl (To Love Me Like You Do)" which was featured a few weeks back via Sammy Acuna's version on the "With Love Vol. 1" compilation.

I've scraped together a playlist of different versions, there are others but I think these are probably the best ones (that are available on Spotify at least).

Leroy Allen [2021] - You And Me [Cmn Records]

Isn't it strange, a record languishes for over 40 years and then two artists decide to cover it in the same week, Gil on 16 Apr and now Leroy Allen on 23 Apr 2021. I posted Gil's version along with the Rockie Robbins' 1980 version last week.
