EDDIE PARKER - LOVE YOU BABY
Thanks to the work of a French man (Gilles Petard), a number of incredibly obscure American soul records were issued in France with amazing picture sleeves. The US issue of this record (on the Ashford label, as in Motown's Jack Ashford) is unspeakably rare, expensive, and has been highly in demand on the Northern Soul scene since the early '70's.
"Love You Baby" is a 100mph stomper with truly exceptional vocals from Eddie, matched with a backing that is purely Detroit. I was very pleased to find a copy of this record for next to nothing at a French record store.

Whoa! Hold on, let me catch my breath a minute. What a record!
Did Eddie and Tina Turner visit the same vocal coach by chance?
great stuff...when his voice breaks up it reminded me of Eddie Hinton.
