 <\/p>\n

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

Erma Franklin<\/strong> is definitely among the ranks of soul singers that ought to have been much better known, and probably would have been were she not overshadowed by her sister Aretha.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Franklin had a formidable discography of her own, having recorded a string of singles for Epic in the early 60s, but having her biggest success working with Jerry Ragovoy<\/strong> at Shout, where she hit with \u2018Piece of my Heart\u2019 in 1966.<\/p>\n

After she left Shout in 1968, Franklin recorded an excellent string of 45s (and an LP) for Brunswick.<\/p>\n

\u2018Change My Thoughts From You\u2019 was the b-side of her only other hit, 1969\u2019s \u2018Gotta Find Me a Lover (24 Hours a Day)\u2019, which grazed the R&B Top 40 that spring.<\/p>\n

Written by Gary Jackson<\/strong> (who co-wrote \u2018(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher\u2019 for Jackie Wilson<\/strong>), Carl Davis<\/strong> and Nate Smith<\/strong>, and produced by Davis and Eugene Record<\/strong>, \u2018Change My Thoughts From You\u2019 is a great bit of melodic, ever so slightly funky Chitown soul.<\/p>\n

Opening with ringing piano chords, followed by crisp drums (dig that big, fat kick drum!) and a very cool bass line, the song moves along at a brisk enough pace for the dancers.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a little bit of crackle at the beginning of this one, but if you take a look at the label (a very cool dealer included this 45 as a freebie with another record) it\u2019s a miracle that it plays at all.<\/p>\n

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

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