Absolutely NOTHING is known about the "Ann Mason" heard on this record, and little is known about the backing group (Little Mac & The Boss Sounds, who are believed to be from North Carolina).
Whatever the story, I LOVE this side and Ann's answer to the wicked Pickett.
from 1965...
Good voice, but I'm not a big fan of thinly-disguised copies (especially when it's on the same label). Makes me think of an easy cash-in, rather than providing her with an original tune.
ReplyDeleteGreat track.. I love it! Thanks Derek!

The instrumental portion (without Ann Mason) IS one of my favorite soul instrumentals. I looked for a long time for "In The Midnight Hour by Little Mac and The Boss Sounds" and finally found it on the import CD "Where It's At". Give a listen and enjoy
