There are mere records and then there are RECORDS...Tunes that reach epic proportions of energy and verve. This is one of the latter, a song so hot that it can melt the brain if not a stylus!
Written by the Stax team of Hayes/Porter, this Homer Banks was truly the Stax artists that never recorded for Stax, but certainly SHOULD have, as his voice and feel were a perfect match for that label's vibe and soul.
from 1967...

Always was a great track - always will be. Anyone who doesn't know Homer Bank's stuff should check out the greatest hits compilation that is available, you won't regret it!!
Awesome tune. Thanks Derek!
He's got the right stuff. Great side. Thank you!
One of the greatest soul tracks EVER.
Still have my cherished Mini 45.
Anyone remember Time and Place in Manchester? (first place I ever heard this)
I'd love to know the story of why Stax never let him record - he was so good! The cd brianbrora mentions above is a must have, though, sad to say, I think it's a "Complete Works" and not a "Greatest Hits". Thanks for spreading the word on another great, great song. W.
