Baby Lloyd (Lloyd Eugene Stallworth) was one of James Brown's backing singers and only released two singles on his own- this one was produced by boss James Brown.
While JB was entering his birth-of-funk high intensity period in '65, this productions hearkens back to earlier JB ballad work but with a very dreamy, 3:00 AM recording session quality thanks to the yearning vocals of Baby Lloyd. I really dig the understated lilt to this record.
from 1965...
BABY LLOYD - THERE'S SOMETHING ON YOUR MIND
Great Bass and Organ work. I think it would have been a stronger tune without the blaring horn sections. They seemed out of place for this song. But that is a minor caveat. Overall a very enjoyable listen. Thank You!
