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

The end of the week is upon us and so is the Funky16Corners Radio Show<\/strong>, coming to you each and every Friday with the best in funk, soul, jazz and rare groove, all on original vinyl. You can subscribe to the show as a podcast in iTunes, on Mixcloud, on your mobile device via the TuneIn app, or an an MP3 any old time you like right here at Funky16Corners.com.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s selection is a very groovy cover version of one of my all time favorite records, the Supremes\u2019<\/strong> \u2018Love Is Like an Itching In Your Heart\u2019.<\/p>\n

The artist is the little known (outside of soul collector circles), but excellent singer Timothy Wilson.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wilson, who was born in Maryland was an early member of the Serenaders<\/strong>, alongside George Kerr<\/strong> and Sidney Barnes,<\/strong> and went on to record a grip of excellent 45s under his own name for labels like Veep, United Artists, Buddah, Blue Rock and Sky Disc between 1965 and the early 70s.<\/p>\n

Wilson\u2019s version of \u2018Love Is Like an Itching In Your Heart\u2019 (produced by Kerr, who worked on a lot of Wilson\u2019s sides) was released on Blue Rock in 1969.<\/p>\n

Sticking to the general template of the original, the pace is a bit faster (making it great for the dancers) with booming saxophone. Wilson has a high tenor voice that often veers to the edge of falsetto and it gives his version of the song and edge missing from the original.<\/p>\n

Though he appears to have made his last record in the 70s, Wilson has toured as a member of the modern incarnation of the Teenagers<\/strong> (as in \u2018Frankie Lymon and\u2026\u2019).<\/p>\n

I hope you dig the record, and I\u2019ll see you all on Monday.<\/p>\n

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