I’m feeling mellow today or, maybe more accurately, jaded after a rather boozy night with Mrs Darce’s family. The recycling boxes are full and we sent our daughter home with more empties. A sign of an enjoyable – and long – evening. Consequently this post will be brief.
Let’s return to the sixties for a beautiful slice of soul from Fred Hughes hiding on the B side of his third 45, released in the summer of 1965. It was also the B side of his subsequent release.
Fred’s recording career followed the same pattern as so many soul singers who started out in the sixties: a string of singles (eleven in all in Fred’s case) released on a number of different labels (and also one album release which was a collection of his later singles with a few covers thrown in to get the running time up). His final single was released in early 1971 following which no more was heard from him, and nothing about his later life seems to be documented.
