AUCTION - http://www.raresoulman.co.uk/index.php/auction/this-week
Carl Henry Hall
Summertime C/w Let Me Down Slowly
Several "Soul" artists have covered this 1935 Ira & George Gershwin classic from "The Porgy & Bess" opera. Billy Stewart & Clea Bradford did this iconic song breathtakingly well.
But take a listen to this 1965 New Jersey session from the excruciatingly expressive vocal of Carl Hall.
Popcorn meets Jazz meets Northern Soul. Click the sound-file an outrageous vocal takes you on an indescribable trip to Down N' Dirty turntable heaven!
The highly gifted Gene Redd "Carstairs - It really Hurts Me Girl etc. etc. carves out a brass surround for Carl's uncontrollable voice to go wild within. If the a-side is not enough to floor you - the flip is nearly as compelling!
Little wonder the demand for this elusive gem - has swelled to bursting point in recent times.
AWESOME is a word that accurately covers Carl's performances...don'tcha think?
Current bid: £ 84.00
Time remaining: Approx. 6 days 3 hours
