Description
Two more floor-friendly 45s from the Deptford Northern Soul Club’s record box.
Featuring Fifty quid’s worth of excellent brass-powered psyche soul that originally turned up on Buddah Records in 1969. An absolutely huge Blackpool Mecca 45 with a backflip moment at around 40 seconds moment that repeats for all stomping excessives.
Backed with the legendary Lee Dorsey’s mighty ‘Give It Up’ from the same year. A swampy soul stew with a funky feel by the hugely under rated singer. An Allen Toussaint production with The Meters providing the chops.
Lou Courtney (born Louis Russell Pegues, August 15th 1943) is an American soul singer and songwriter.
Born in Buffalo, New York, he graduated from Hutchinson Central Technical High School in 1962. As “Lew Courtney”, he first recorded for Imperial Records the same year. He also worked in New York City as a songwriter, using his birth name, Louis Pegues, and wrote for Chubby Checker as well as Mary Wells’ 1964 hit “Ain’t It the Truth”.
