The Feel It Advent-ure 2020: Door 6


Here in the UK London Records were a godsend to Soul lovers in the 70s. The label was the UK home of Al Green, Ann Peebles, and any number of other Hi artists, but they also released singles from some other excellent and more obscure artists from labels such as Shout.

I can offer no information on Louise Freeman beyond the fact she had five US single releases - three in the 70s and two in the late 80s - and all were recorded in Georgia, so that is presumably her home state. (She rightfully has her place on Sir Shambling's site, but even John cannot offer any further background on the singer).

This is a beautifully arranged deepie. The intro is reminiscent of Betcha By Golly Wow, and elsewhere, fleetingly, Todd Rundgren's Hello It's Me comes to mind.
