Greetings all<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

It is my great pleasure to welcome you all to the middle of another week here at Funky16Corners.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The tune I bring you today is one one of those cornerstones of the Mod R&B\/soul \u201cthing\u201d that is not only in demand (got fifty smackers?<\/em>) but twice as groovy as any money you have to fork over to get your own copy.<\/p>\n

Ronnie Love<\/strong>*, was a pseudonymous appellation for the man that would go on to have a stellar songwriting career as Ron Dunbar<\/strong> (co-writing Band of Gold, Give Me Just a Little More Time, Patches among many others).<\/p>\n

He laid down \u2018Chills and Fever\u2019 in 1960 and managed to make it to #15 R&B and #72 Pop.<\/p>\n

\u2018Chills and Fever\u2019 is one of those records with an undeniable, hard charging beat, a wall of saxophones, pounding piano and a very solid vocal by Love\/Dunbar.<\/p>\n

The tune was fired up again a few years later when the mighty Tom Jones<\/strong> (still in the grip of his R&Beat thing) laid into it towing a truck full of TNT (check out this live performance from 1965!<\/a>).<\/p>\n

As I alluded to in the beginning of the post, Ronnie Love\u2019s \u2018Chills and Fever\u2019 is a huge fave with the Mod and Northern Soul crowds, and as a result is not cheap or easy to score.<\/p>\n

It should also not be confused with Paul Kelly\u2019s<\/strong> Northern fave of the same name, which is an entirely different song.<\/p>\n

I hope you dig it, and I\u2019ll see you all on Friday.<\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
