Reviews

• A good example of the blend of various styles that I mentioned earlier, but on 'I'm A Fool For You' James Carr delivers with vigour and vim, and a remarkable lady from New Orleans, none other than Betty Harris, adds spice and excitement on what in reality is a love duet. Like many other famous soul duets, (Don Gardner and Dee Ford's 'I Need Your Loving' comes to mind), the tension between the two isn't resolved, with the result that once the end fade is over, you feel you've got to play it just one more time. Co-composers, the ever-loved George Jackson, and Dan Greer, both also made recordings as vocalists.
