DOTTIE CAMBRIDGE - CRY YOUR EYES OUT


I won't get into the despicable, downright unforgivable acts that producer Huey P Meaux landed in prison for, but there is no denying that the man was an absolute genius in the studio, as records by Barbara Lynn, The Sir Douglas Quintet and dozens upon dozens of others testify to. On this glorious record, Huey and singer Dorothy Moore (renamed Dottie here, fresh out of girl group The Poppies and before her definitive reading of "Misty Blue" in 1975) create a near perfect forgery of the Detroit sound, albeit one that was undoubtedly cut in the deep south of Huey's home base.

from 1967...

Hey Derek, you accidentally entitled the song "DRY Your Eyes Out" instead of "CRY." Maybe your suggestion is better advice?
