Actually the title was not plural- It's 'Get Your Lie Straight'. It made it to #14 on the R&B chart back in 1971. I remember meeting Bill when he opened for Denise Lasalle at the Brass Key in Ensley,Alabama. He was a nice guy. Rest In Peace Bill. This was the only real hit he had." When You Find A Fool,Bump His Head" -written by Denise only made it to #48 on the R&B chart in the summer of 1971.

conqueroo 1, I agree 100%. Am I wrong, or did he have at least one tune that crossed over and made the pop charts during his career. I always the fact that there were and still are different charts. I know those charts, at least in the 50's and 60's were due largely to racial differences, but good music is good music no matter who does it.

They don't make soul records like this anymore. Consider your VERY VERY fortunate to be in its presence right now.
