While it's a truly great thing that Betty has had something of a creative renaissance in recent years, her mid to late 60's releases are simply unbeatable; this is the type of record that could easily be used to demonstrate what soul music is for someone who hasn't a clue. "I Feel Good" is an intense, pounding and swirling number and 'Only Your Love" is a gorgeous and dreamy mid tempo number. An absolutely perfect double sider!

Derek, how can a track pack so much pure soul, funk, style, into just two minutes of stylus vibrating wax. it just couldn't happen today. Absolute ear candy. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, Dex. It's records like this that have made me devote my life to seeking out 45's.
