R'n'B Series Part 5
from Outta Sight Records' Podcast Hosted by Outta Sight Records
Welcome to part 5 in the Outta Sight Rhythm and Blues archive. 6 more winter warmers to heat up any dance floor. The Northern end of R'n'B continues to pack the dance floors across Europe and it is showcased – at its best – in these in-demand cuts. The star turn this month has to go to Sherri Taylor and her debut 45 “He’s The One That Rings My Bell”. Co-penned by Berry Gordy’s writing partner Billy ‘Roquel’ Davis and co-owner of Detroit’s Anna Records with Berry’s sister Gwen. Originally issued on the tiny PG (£700) label before being picked up by it’s neighbour Gloreco (£500). Coupled with Jo Ann Henderson’s £250 Phonograph recording “Baby Please Don’t Go” this is a 45 to treasure. We also venture to Chicago for two killer sides from Tommy "Madman" Jones' MAD label - Billy "The Kid" Emerson "I Never Get Enough" and the the original version of "Sugar In my Tea" by Piney Brown. Finally, two Northern Soul R'n'B anthems - "Emperor Of My Baby's Heart" by Kurt Harris and the original version of "Chills And Fever" by Johnny (aka Ronnie) Love. Get ‘em while they’re hot!
