While Fontella never had the type of chart success (not to mention pop crossover) as she did with "rescue Me", there are a number of other great, overlooked records in her discography including this one which is a real fave of mine. Another stellar piece in the Chicago soul puzzle. Adding up the the output from the likes of Chess records, productions and recordings of groundbreakers Gene Chandler, Syl Johnson and Curtis Mayfield (among others), productions of Carl Davis and Gerald Simms (among others) usually when I hear people argue Stax vs Motown, I always throw in "but don't forget about CHICAGO"!
from 1967...
FONTELLA BASS - LUCKY IN LOVE

When's this from? Her voice sounds far deeper and less nasal (not a criticism) than on "Rescue Me" or "Recovery."
Yeah, her voice is much mellower on this track, which falls in-between Rescue Me and Recovery (Recovery was the succesor to this one, I believe)
