Bo Kirkland only has one record to his name (this one). Of course he doesn’t, but he only has one 45 released under that name alone.
Expand your search to Bo (Kirkland) & Ruth (Davis) you will find a few more records, and one very well known hit if you are of a certain age – at least it was massive in the UK. I wrote some more about Bo & Ruth back in 2019.
Now expand your search to Michael Kirkland and you will find another 45, and to Mike James Kirkland and you find a few more 45s and albums.
We’re gradually going backwards in time now, and we’re not finished yet.
Plug in Mike & The Censations and you will find his 60s output – a string of eight cracking 45s released in second half of the 60s. I featured one of them in my 2014 Advent-ure, and I should really feature some more (next year).
Yes Bo Kirkland = Michael James Kirkland = Mike James Kirkland = Michael Kirkland. Don’t get him confused with Robert (Bob) Kirkland though, that’s his brother, he was also a member of the Censations, as was his sister and her husband.
Sure Got A Thing For You is a lovely piece of slinky mid 70s midtempo soul. A "B" side again, and in my opinion much stronger than the funky A side Grandfather Clock.
