eddie thornton outfit - baby be my girl (instant, 1969)

Top notch tune recorded by Tan Tan for the Instant/Immediate label.

From Reggaepedia:
"Eddie Thornton (widely known as Tan Tan) was born in the late 40's in Spanish Town, Jamaica. At a young age he attended the Alpha Boys Catholic School. He graduated from the school as a trumpet player and began playing his first sessions with Eric Dean's All Star Band featuring Ruben Alexander, Roy Shirland (Shirley?) and Ernest Ranglin. They toured the island's night club spots playing cover versions of the then popular rhythm and blues which resulted in an engagement at the Colony Club, one of Jamaica's top night club.
Tan Tan also began playing at the Bournemouth Club with The Roy Coburn Band that featured artists such as Tommy McCook, Roland Alphonso, Ossie Scott and Ray Coburn.
In the early 1965 Tan Tan went to England began playing Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames. He was playing on hits such as »Getaway«, »Yeah Yeah« and »Sitting In The Park«. By the end of the year he was back on the road as a member of a backing band touring extensively throughout England, Europe and the United States, alongside artists such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Sandi Shaw, The Small Faces and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. He also became a part of the Tamla Motown Package Tour of England which featured heavyweight artists such as Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. "
