Originally recorded by Jerry Butler, on this side East LA's Midniters (not to be confused with Hank Ballards' Midnighters) transform the track from a minor number into an epic, deep Latino soul track that showcases the brilliant vocals of Willie Garcia (Little Willie G).
Thee Midniters were an group with unlimited talent, who could deliver a soul ballad such as this, a dance floor classic ("Land Of A Thousand Dances", itself a national hit), or outrageous garage/ psych ("Jump, Jive And Harmonize") with equal conviction.
from 1967...

I'm sure it doesn't take as long as the time I spend finding, buying, transferring, scanning, writing about and posting them.
Thanks Derek for all the incredible music you give us be it soul, rock, beat as you call it - whatever genre - you have impeccable taste. By the way Thee Midniters Giving Up On Love is written and produced by the same writer producers who did The Strangeloves "I Want Candy": Robert Feldman, Richard Gotteher and Jerry Goldstein [excluding Bert Berns].
