King Edward And His B. D. 's Workin' For My Baby C/w I Don't Want To Lose Her Frank Guida and Lenis Guess Norfolk Virginia collaboration saw this song recorded by Frank 's two premier artists - Gary US Bonds & Lenis himself did strong Northern Soul version; like so many great songs of the 60s the small-town Carolina's outfits did their own slant on things - here is yet another testament to the wealth of the Carolina style "Soul" sound with all it's instantly recognizable characteristics. This version is not only infinitely rarer than the S.P.Q.R. originals - but it also offers an angry edge of vocal, precise horns and an instrumental break, colliding with King Edward's emotional vocal creating a moment of incomparable NS dance quality - This is a HUGE Tune for Carl & Maria Willingham . This copy has some surface scuffing - check the sound file it plays clean, clear & true.
