Description

WILLIE HIGHTOWER " BECAUSE I LOVE YOU " 1967 CAPITOL RECORDS. THIS COPY IS BEUTIFUL AND PLAYS MINT AS IT SHOULD. HILITE YELLOW TO VIEW BIO.  Willie’s first secular single in 1965 on the Enjoy label introduced his cover of What Am I Living For.  Cut in New York in July, the song had been a gold record for Chuck Willis in 1958 and it’s been covered by Z.Z. Hill, Percy Sledge, Conway Twitty, Solomon Burke, Clyde McPhatter, Barbara Lynn etc. etc.  Written by Fred Jay and Art Harris, Willie turned the song into an uptempo number.  “It was my idea.”  The self-written flip, Too Late, is a plaintive bluesoul ballad, which bears a resemblance to some of Bobby Bland’s music those days.  “I was never influenced by Bobby Bland.  I like Bobby Bland, but Sam Cooke was my idol.”
