Flirtations - "Hold On To Me Babe"

More from this great soul trio, this was coupled with "Love A Little Longer" on a 1972 Polydor single. It's anyone's guess what the girls are doing in a sawmill, but it's pretty safe to assume that health and safety regulations wouldn't enable this clip to be made these days! How this great act never had a UK chart entry is frankly baffling, as their recordings for Deram and Polydor are some of the classiest soul records around, in my humble opinion.

@demafenetre Did you know Martha was an original member of the Flirtations?

I like footage like this. Very relaxing. The Flirtations are cute. Better than today's garbage.

I do hope the health and safety regulations were adhered to though.

Wow fantastic! Martha Reeves may have got to film in a car plant in Detroit but this is even better! There is so much amazing footage of this band, apart from a CD release for this post-Deram material maybe a DVD too....
