Berna Dean's two previously unheard recordings are by far her best. They were laid down at Cosimo Matassa's New Orleans' studios by GNP Crescendo but eschewed in favour of two relatively average sides. The great 50s R\u0026amp;B songwriter Jesse Stone provides a rocker for the much-admired Jimmy Breedlove and a super-catchy 'This Morning' for an unknown mixed vocal group that has a joyous gospel feel. Jesse also penned 'Private Eye', a classic early 60s story-song, for Buddy Wilkins which was issued on Al Sears' Tri-Ess imprint. The title track is used twice, on two very different Fraternity recordings. Kenny Smith's version was issued in 1964 and has many followers, but the equally meritorious Coasters-inspired composition by the Citations is newly discovered. Win Menifee's 'I'm Runnin' Around' from the same Cincinnati label comes complete with a fascinating back-story. There are three cover versions. Vermettya Royster's 'All Around The World' is backed by James Brown's 1961 band, while Roosevelt Lee's 1970 update of the 1947-originated 'Hey Little Girl' funks the tune up a la Godfather of Soul. The cover that will make the biggest noise is undoubtedly west coast band the Afterglows' version of Barbara Lynn's evergreen dancer 'I'm A Good Woman' - this is a future monster. Golden Crest provides two fabulous male vocal group sides - the swinging 'What's On Your Mind' by Eddie Daye's Four Bars and the delightful harmonies of the appropriately-named, but unknown Delights 'Mary Don't You Weep'. Blues still thrived into the 70s as Albert Washington's mean and moody 'Case Of The Blues' proves. Smokey Wilson took the music into the late 70s with the storming 'Goin' Away Baby (Round Like An Apple)', which benefits here from a 45-style edit. His Pioneer Club on 88th Street in South Central LA provides the atmospheric photo for this collection. More early 60s movers come from Wilbur \"Hi-Fi\" White with 'Don't Look Now', future hit songwriter Johnny Madara's raucous 'You Make Me Mad' and Big Boy Groves 'Bucket O' Blood' which brilliantly describes the kind of club these tracks would fit right into. The LP version loses a few tracks, but so many collectors have strong preferences we've thrown the vinyl junkies a lifeline.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove in Them There Hills - the Vibrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnited - Peaches and Herb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Gonna Make You Love Me - Madeline Bell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(You) Got What I Need - Freddie Scott\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Brand New Me - Mary Wells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnly the Strong Survive - Elvis Presley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCowboys to Girls - the Intruders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLost - Jerry Butler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTogether - Gladys Knight ; the Pips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Can't Stop Dancing - Archie Bell and the Drells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet's Get Together Soon - Dusty Springfield\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAin't No Doubt About It - Wilson Pickett\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrowning in the Sea of Love - Joe Simon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove Train - the Supremes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMe and Mr. Jones - Barbara Mason\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpressway to Your Heart - Margo Thunder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Love Music (Album Version) - the O'Jays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI've Got the Groove - George Faith\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Leave Me This Way - Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever Gonna Give You Up - Bonnie Bramlett ; Dobie Gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine - Lou Rawls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf You Don't Know Me By Now - Jean Carn and the Temptations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNow That We've Found Love - Third World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHey Western Union Man - Bobby Rush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 029667113823\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kent Records Uk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.4.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ShopTime Music \u0026 Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47004366667951,"sku":"STMM-144099","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/4112\/7599\/files\/4431996-3400699.jpg?v=1780596020","url":"https:\/\/pureliverecords.shop\/products\/love-train-gamble-huff-songbook-various-uk-love-train-gamble-huff-songbook-various-uk-cd","provider":"Pure Live Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
