OTIS LEAVILL - NOBODY BUT YOU


Born in Georgia but relocated at age 2 to Chicago, Otis Leavill was not only a singer but also a talent scout who discovered the likes of The Chi-Lites and Tyrone Davis. Friends with Major Lance (who he boxed with), Curtis Mayfield and Billy Butler, Otis was right in the thick of the golden age of Chicago soul.

This beautiful track is simply the right choice for today; I proposed to my beautiful Angeline in front of Abbey Road studios in London and yes, it's a very good day indeed.

from 1967...

  8. My best to you both.

    J’avais promis dans ma jeunesse
    Que je m’aurais jamais marie...
    C’est aujourd’hui que ma tete est couronnĂ©e
    Et mon coeur est ornĂ© d’un bouquet....
