While there isn't much in the way of biographical information about Godoy Colbert, his name pops up quite a bit on the fringes of doo wop, soul and gospel music as both a vocalist and writer. This release was a one-off for Revue records, right around the time he sang on the Exits "Got To Have Money" (a previous 45 of the day) and shortly before he joined the group the Free Movement. Such a smooth voice!
Sure sounds great on a grey December morning, with such a superb upbeat (and uplifting) sound.
from 1968...
