Berna Dean's two previously unheard recordings are by far her best. They were laid down at Cosimo Matassa's New Orleans' studios by GNP Crescendo but eschewed in favour of two relatively average sides. The great 50s R\u0026amp;B songwriter Jesse Stone provides a rocker for the much-admired Jimmy Breedlove and a super-catchy 'This Morning' for an unknown mixed vocal group that has a joyous gospel feel. Jesse also penned 'Private Eye', a classic early 60s story-song, for Buddy Wilkins which was issued on Al Sears' Tri-Ess imprint. The title track is used twice, on two very different Fraternity recordings. Kenny Smith's version was issued in 1964 and has many followers, but the equally meritorious Coasters-inspired composition by the Citations is newly discovered. Win Menifee's 'I'm Runnin' Around' from the same Cincinnati label comes complete with a fascinating back-story. There are three cover versions. Vermettya Royster's 'All Around The World' is backed by James Brown's 1961 band, while Roosevelt Lee's 1970 update of the 1947-originated 'Hey Little Girl' funks the tune up a la Godfather of Soul. The cover that will make the biggest noise is undoubtedly west coast band the Afterglows' version of Barbara Lynn's evergreen dancer 'I'm A Good Woman' - this is a future monster. Golden Crest provides two fabulous male vocal group sides - the swinging 'What's On Your Mind' by Eddie Daye's Four Bars and the delightful harmonies of the appropriately-named, but unknown Delights 'Mary Don't You Weep'. Blues still thrived into the 70s as Albert Washington's mean and moody 'Case Of The Blues' proves. Smokey Wilson took the music into the late 70s with the storming 'Goin' Away Baby (Round Like An Apple)', which benefits here from a 45-style edit. His Pioneer Club on 88th Street in South Central LA provides the atmospheric photo for this collection. More early 60s movers come from Wilbur \"Hi-Fi\" White with 'Don't Look Now', future hit songwriter Johnny Madara's raucous 'You Make Me Mad' and Big Boy Groves 'Bucket O' Blood' which brilliantly describes the kind of club these tracks would fit right into. The LP version loses a few tracks, but so many collectors have strong preferences we've thrown the vinyl junkies a lifeline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Love in Them There Hills - the Vibrations\u003cbr\u003e2 United - Peaches and Herb\u003cbr\u003e3 I'm Gonna Make You Love Me - Madeline Bell\u003cbr\u003e4 (You) Got What I Need - Freddie Scott\u003cbr\u003e5 A Brand New Me - Mary Wells\u003cbr\u003e6 Only the Strong Survive - Elvis Presley\u003cbr\u003e7 Cowboys to Girls - the Intruders\u003cbr\u003e8 Lost - Jerry Butler\u003cbr\u003e9 Together - Gladys Knight \u0026amp; the Pips\u003cbr\u003e10 I Can't Stop Dancing - Archie Bell and the Drells\u003cbr\u003e11 Let's Get Together Soon - Dusty Springfield\u003cbr\u003e12 Ain't No Doubt About It - Wilson Pickett\u003cbr\u003e13 Drowning in the Sea of Love - Joe Simon\u003cbr\u003e14 Love Train - the Supremes\u003cbr\u003e15 Me and Mr. Jones - Barbara Mason\u003cbr\u003e16 Expressway to Your Heart - Margo Thunder\u003cbr\u003e17 I Love Music (Album Version) - the O'Jays\u003cbr\u003e18 I've Got the Groove - George Faith\u003cbr\u003e19 Don't Leave Me This Way - Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes\u003cbr\u003e20 Never Gonna Give You Up - Bonnie Bramlett \u0026amp; Dobie Gray\u003cbr\u003e21 You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine - Lou Rawls\u003cbr\u003e22 If You Don't Know Me By Now - Jean Carn and the Temptations\u003cbr\u003e23 Now That We've Found Love - Third World\u003cbr\u003e24 Hey Western Union Man - Bobby Rush\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42353758929030,"sku":"KNU6711382.2","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0088\/2959\/9806\/files\/love-train.jpg?v=1754070305","url":"https:\/\/www.parasolrecords.com\/products\/various-love-train-gamble-huff-songbook-cd","provider":"Parasol Mail Order","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
