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

I felt like getting the week off to a good start with something heavy, si I dipped into the crates and pulled out the 45 you see before you today.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Robins<\/strong> is yet another soul singer of the classic era who is best classified as a journeyman, moving from label to label, from the late 50s to the early 70s, recording under a number of different names.<\/p>\n

Oddly enough, it was with this 45, released in 1966, that Robins had his biggest hit.<\/p>\n

\u2018I Can\u2019t Please You\u2019, released on at least three different labels (Impression, Jerhart, and in the UK on President) in 1966, went on to hit the R&B Top 20 in early 1967.<\/p>\n

A raw, R&B-inflected burner, with a powerful vocal by Robins and a fast-moving arrangement that made it a dance floor favorite. \u2018I Can\u2019t Please You\u2019 was covered a year later by the Bay Area band the Loading Zone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Robins went on to record for 20th Century, Kent, Tangerine and Convoy, making his last 45 as half of the duo Patrizia and Jimmy<\/strong> on the funk 45 favorite \u2018Trust Your Child\u2019 for Ala in 1973.<\/p>\n

Robins passed away in 2007.<\/p>\n

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

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