I recall the first time I
heard the name Rose Battiste. I thought to myself... WOW! Even
better was to follow when I heard her rare 45, "Hit and
Run". Simply, it rates as one
of THE great songs rescued by the Northern Soul
scene. In
September 2001, Graham Finch played me an interview that he
had conducted with Rose in Detroit. As we listened to
the tape, I thought how wonderful it was that Graham had
tracked this legend down. It
is a privilege to present Rose's story on SoulfulDetroit.
