Listen/Download – Eddie Bo – Fallin’ In Love Again MP3

Greetings all.

I hope the middle of the week finds you all well.

It has been far too long since we last visited with the mighty Eddie Bo.

Bo was one of the indisputable kings of New Orleans R&B, soul and funk, working from the 50s until his death in 2009.

‘Fallin’ in Love Again’ was the b-side of his first 45 for Joe Banashak’s Seven B label in 1966.

He would go on to record six singles for the label, one of which, his duet with Inez Cheatham, ‘Lover and a Friend’ was picked up for national distribution by Capitol.

‘Fallin’ In Love Again’ features a sweet vocal by Bo, some great female backing vocals and some great New Orleans guitar (George Davis?).

The song owes a structural/stylistic debt to Marvin Gaye’s ‘Hitch Hike’, especially the breaks in the chorus.

As far as Bo’s Seven B 45s go, this one is on the more affordable side, usually gettable in the 30-50 dollar range.

That said, I hope you dig it, and I’ll be back on Friday with a hot new Hammond mix!

Keep the faith

Larry
