  • “The revealing intro …where is my baby, sets the scene for a truly frantic jaunt.”
    Phil Smith
    “The disc is pure Soul beat and totally in keeping with what was happening in 1966.”
    KR
    Penned by Percy Mayfield, the track was also recorded by Ray Charles on ABC-Paramount 1962.
    Earl Grant (1931-1970), was born in Idabel, Oklahoma. Though he would be known later for his keyboards and vocals, Grant also played trumpet and drums. Grant attended four music schools, eventually becoming a music teacher. He augmented his income by performing in clubs during his army service, throughout which he was stationed in Fort Bliss, Texas. Grant signed with Decca Records in 1957.
    Grant also made a few appearances in film and television, including Tender Is the Night (1962), Juke Box Rhythm (1959), and The Ed Sullivan Show (1961).
    Grant sings the title theme for the 1959 film “Imitation of Life”
    Grant died instantly in a car accident in Lordsburg, New Mexico, at the age of 39.

    Great record and I've watched this clip loads of times and always laugh at the lad at 2.10 who nearly falls over after losing his balance and struggling to get up. I've done it loads of times.......dancing is great fun even at 62yr old.

      Do you remember the pub "The Bun Shop", near where the multi storey car park is now (100yds from the Corn Exchange). Well I always thought he was singing "She said she was going to the Bun Shop, right across the track...." Instead of Porn shop, for obvious reasons if you remember the Bun Shop in the early '70s!

    Great track & Video as usual Rob , Im in the middle of doing a similar video with clips of dancers, but struggling to find decent clips .. I asked one guy could I use some clips from his vid and he told me to get a camera and go and film it myself ... lol..

      Thanks again Mike.
      On the positive side, it does stop you trawling through records boxes, ignoring what's going on.
      Looking forward to see what you find and do with Element V2.
