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

Today\u2019s selection comes from the \u2018Songs I Learned from Mr Finewine<\/strong>\u2019 file.<\/p>\n

A couple of years back I had the honor of spinning next to the master at his long-running residency at Botanica in NYC.<\/p>\n

As is often the case when spinning with a serious collector, I left the bar that night with a longer want list than I brought with me.<\/p>\n

One of the newly added items on that list is the record you see before you today, \u2018I\u2019ll Be Gone\u2019 by James Duncan and the Duncan Trio.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Duncan was a Georgia singer who recorded for a variety of labels in the 60s and early 70s, but mostly for King and Federal.<\/p>\n

The raving soul of \u2018I\u2019ll Be Gone\u2019 was recorded in 1964, but sounds as if it could have been waxed at any time in the previous five years.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve kind of found 1964 to be an unofficial boundary line where the transition from old-school R&B to out and out soul finally set in completely, and \u2018I\u2019ll Be Gone\u2019 is a great example of the remainders of the earlier sound.<\/p>\n

Duncan sounds like a slightly deeper-voiced Little Richard<\/strong>, backed by group harmonies, walking bass and some well-placed organ.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a wild, dance-floor-packing side.<\/p>\n

Duncan went on to make some funkier sides in the late 60s, one of which will surely make it into this space in the future.<\/p>\n

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

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