BENNY GORDON AND THE SOUL BROTHERS - A KISS TO BUILD A DREAM ON

Perhaps using the Otis Redding model (taking a standard, in Otis' case, 'Try A Little Tenderness" and turning it into something soulful), Benny Gordon turns in a wild performance here with a red hot, exciting vocal performance.

Benny Gordon was a South Carolina native who moved to New York in the early 60's for a career in music. His southern church roots are certainly evident on this track!!! He released a handful of records, but probably his biggest star moment was playing a gig at one of Truman Capote's star-studded Black And White Ball parties.

from 1967...
