"DOROTHY WILLIAMS".1964 VOLT #118..VERY,VERY RARE...OBSCURE 45
All I know is that she had one release out on the Memphis independent Bandstand label, which was picked up by the bigger Memphis independent Goldwax label, and then the above which, it seems, she co-wrote with Steve Cropper at the even bigger Memphis independent Stax/Volt label. This side is a storming up-tempo number that was a underground 'in' record for Soul fans in London and the South in 1964, though, as it had no British release, it was almost impossible to get a copy in the UK.
Hearkening back to almost a late 50's hard r&b sound, yet with the then modern sound of the Stax band blazing behind, this is one heck of a record. I love how the horns are pushing the tempo while the rhythm section stands its ground all the while Dorothy keeps reaching higher and higher into the stratosphere with her vocals. Powerful stuff!
I only know of one other release from Dorothy Williams; surprising as she was quite a belter! She co-wrote this record with Stax hero guitarist/ producer/ writer Steve Cropper.
