SHERYL SWOPE - CAN'T GET HIM OFF MY MIND

Sheryl Swope's small output of records are added to the category of Chicago/ Detroit soul summit meeting. Sheryl herself was from Chicago, and for this (and subsequent) releases she traveled to Detroit to work with Detroit producer Mike Terry on a song written by the Detroit Brothers Of Soul (Fred Bridges/ Ben Knight/ Robert Eaton, who are probably singing the excellent backing vocals here as well) for magical results.

Sheryl shows off a gorgeous, clear voice that exudes the smooth Chicago sound, backed by that cracking Detroit rhythm and a horn section that has a very Chicago-like sound as well. This track is also a great example of Terry's use of congas that just sound so damn bubbling away on this track. Plus, whoever is playing guitar here puts in a stellar performance. Quite simply, a perfect record. I look forward to featuring another great record from Sheryl Swope soon as well.

from 1969...
