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

In furtherance of getting the week off on the good foot (as it were) I bring you a hot, recent addition to my crates.<\/p>\n

Doris Troy<\/strong> is a name that is probably familiar to R&B and soul fans as a one hit wonder for her oft-covered 1963 hit \u2018Just One Look\u2019.<\/p>\n

By the late 60s, Troy had relocated to the UK where she worked as a backing singer and vocal arranger for groups like the Rolling Stones.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 1969 Troy met up with George Harrison<\/strong> (via a Billy Preston<\/strong> recording date) and through that meeting was signed to Apple Records.<\/p>\n

The self-titled album she made for Apple (released in 1970) was an all-star affair, dipping into the various and sundry heavy friends circulating in and around Harrison and the rest of the Beatles.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The tune I bring you today is Troy\u2019s smoking cover of one of my favorite Buffalo Springfield<\/strong> songs \u2018Special Care\u2019.
\nRecorded with the song\u2019s composer Stephen Stills<\/strong> on guitar and Leon Russell<\/strong> on piano, Troy takes the song and a much more brisk pace than the original, and hearing the vocal delivered by her soulful voice, as opposed to the Springfield\u2019s harmonies (Stills\/Neil Young\/Richie Furay)<\/strong>, makes for an interesting contrast.<\/p>\n

I dig the bass (Klaus Voorman<\/strong>) and the horn section too.<\/p>\n

All in all a very nice reworking of an already groovy song.<\/p>\n

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

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

Larry<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n
