Talk about crazy innuendo! I can't believe that a record mogul, independent or nor not, would have thought that a song about such a thing could possibly become a hit in 1966!
Well, thankfully for us they did, and we have this lovely memento of a song with a subject matter that is most definitely unique within sixties soul.
Can't find much info at all about Leah, although this is most certainly a Detroit record.
from 1966...
