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

The middle of the week approacheth, and so I bring you something unusual and very groovy.<\/p>\n

Jackie Lee<\/strong> has made many an appearance here at Funky16Corners<\/strong>, as part of Bob and Earl,<\/strong> under the alias of Earl Cosby<\/strong>, and under his own name.<\/p>\n

He was one of the more interesting \u2013 and as you\u2019ll see with today\u2019s selection, versatile \u2013 singers on the Southern California soul scene in the 60s.<\/p>\n

I had been on the lookout for his funky 1970 single \u2018The Chicken\u2019 for a long time, and when it turned up in a box of 45s at a sale, I grabbed it forthwith and took it home with me.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Chicken\u2019 \u2013 which will grave this space some time in the future \u2013 is a very cool, Sly and the Family Stone<\/strong>-influenced groover, but the really pleasant surprise was awaiting me on the flipside.<\/p>\n

\u2018I Love You\u2019 is one of those very unusual, almost shockingly different tunes, that once you\u2019ve heard it, you spend an unnatural amount of time wondering why you hadn\u2019t heard it before.<\/p>\n

Written by Lee,with Bob Relf<\/strong> and Fred Smith,<\/strong> \u2018I Love You\u2019 is a ballad, with an odd, vague psychedelic cast to it.<\/p>\n

Opening with a boiling organ, and propelled by a distant sounding guitar and a throbbing bass, \u2018I Love You\u2019 has a haunting melody. The production and arrangement (by James Carmichael<\/strong>) owe a debt to the pop side of the charts, and Lee really gets a chance to stretch as a vocalist.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s proof that even as Mirwood was fading, the creative powers behind the label were still a force to be dealt with.<\/p>\n

Though \u2018The Chicken\u2019 just made it into the R&B Top 50 in August of 1970, \u2018I Love You\u2019 didn\u2019t generate any heat, and was soon (unjustly<\/em>) forgotten.<\/p>\n

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

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