ROOSEVELT MATTHEWS -YOU GOT ME DIGGIN' YOU (KING)
Roosevelt "Mac" Matthews adds his baritone vocals throughout both sides of 1968 King Record release 45-6173 either the funky version of Bell/Butler's “Tighten Up” (singing "Tighten Up Tighter")
or the slow soulful midpaced "You Got Me Diggin’ You". The featured filp side is penned by Matthews who is still missing the woman who walked out on him.
Both backings are supplied by Billy Ball and The Upsetters. Although Ball’s group were based in Indianapolis all their discs were apparently cut in Nashville.
King Records was unique among the independent labels because the entire production process was done in-house: recording, mastering, printing, pressing and shipping.
This gave them complete c...

THE CHANDLERS - YOUR LOVE MAKES ME LONELY (COL SOUL)

Instantly recognisable it became an anthemic intro to what became a huge ‘hit’ with UK soul dance-floors." Dave Moore The b...

The horn riff is completely infectious and Cliff's rough vocals only add fuel to the fire. He even says so himself: "Like a fire....it keeps burnin'."
