LORRAINE CHANDLER - WHAT CAN I DO b/w TELL ME YOU'RE MINE
The first few seconds spell out immediately that this record is classic Detroit soul- with a confident snare drum roll, lush harmony vocals and gritty baritone sax, the groove is perfectly established by the time the gorgeous lead vocal from Lorraine Chandler, ho makes her debut here. Lorraine went on to record two other singles under her own name, but she became more prolific as a songwriter and producer of several records by the likes of Eddie Parker, Willie Kendrick, The Metros and Freddie Butler.
This record became a hit in Detroit and Chicago, and was reissued with national distribution power by RCA Victor, who also signed her on for the writing and production work. Unfortunately, while RCA released dozens of amazing soul records in the '60's, they never really had it together enough to make any of them hits.
