Some records make you think; other make you cry. Some records will knock you in their tracks with their expressions of pure emotion, some simply stomp. THIS is the latter!
New York City/ Bronx singer Rex Garvin's career started while he was a teen singing doo wop, and he continued well into the soul era before retiring from music around 1971, leaving behind some incredibly raw and raucous 45's such as this gem. Just take a listen with headphones and hear how his vocal mic seems to pick up every breath and even what sounds like a few bumps into the microphone; what spirit! And how fantastic are those backing vocals????
from 1963...

Love it!
This must be the same Rex Garvin who did that great James Bond tribute -- "Sock It to 'em JB" -- a little later. Hot stuff!
