PATTI JO - AIN'T NO LOVE LOST

During his peak years (which this fanatic would consider to be from 1960 'til 1974 or so) Curtis Mayfield simply couldn't do wrong. Whether he was the singer, songwriter, A&R man, or producer the man was frighteningly talented and had impeccable taste and was also a gifted talent scout.

On this track, sixteen-year-old Patti Jo turns in an incredibly mature, downright smouldering performance on a typically great Curtis composition. The results are magic, as expected.

I don't know much else about Patti Jo; I think she only cut one other 45.

from 1972...
