BABY WASHINGTON - STANDING ON THE PIER

I would never discount not only the incredible vocal performance from Justine "Baby" Washington (as usual), her beautifully poetic lyrics about love and longing which incorporates the old parables of sailors returning home BUT what makes this record EXTRA extraordinary to me is the absolute freakout organ performance that makes this track downright FREAKY.

Producer (and Sue Record label owner) Juggy Murray was a master of creating a vibe with his records, and along with arranger Sammy Lowe and these excellent, unknown New York City studio musicians capture the tale of the lyrics in such a way that almost makes me feel as though I'm drowning in the grooves.

You have been warned. You're gonna get sucked in to the tide.

from 1964...
