Tremendous hook in this this song. It's not in the bridge or the chorus or even her melody. I find myself humming the back round orchestration. After the first chorus, the orchestra plays a melody that weeps with her pain. It starts with the back round vocals and at their crescendo, the top note, blends with the orchestration and they take over. This kind of juxtaposition of "feeling" in music, the vocals and the orchestration, makes a hit song.Why didn't this chart?Is this a Epic single?
I think GREAT songs like this were 'lost in the rush' as America was over productive as regards good msuc in the 1960s - she did not have the 'Motown machine' behind here - and in Britain people were buying Freddie and the Dreamers! Yuk!
OUTSTANDING.

Written by the Brothers of Soul (Fred BRIDGES, Richard KNIGHT and Robert EATON) and produced by Mike Terry, this is a truly monumental recording.

Maxine Brown is from Kingstree, South Carolina.
She moved to New York when she was in her
teens. She sang with a couple of gospal groups,
before soloing and recording duets with Chuck
Jackson in the 1960's.
