TONY CLARKE - THE ENTERTAINER


When we last heard from Tony Clarke on this blog, it was with his stormer shoulda been a hit "Landslide" (a 45 that is practically ALWAYS in my box when I DJ); this track actually was a minor chart item which should have fared much better. This song is especially poignant for those of us who do perform in a way that is hard to explain to those who don't. Very beautifully done.

Too bad he died a tragically young death and never got to see how his music is still revered and loved by soul fans around the world.

from 1965...

  1. I like the way the organist quotes "I've Got Plenty of Nothing"--twice!
