I am going to find it. Clyde was pure talent and ability. No else sounded like him and he made it look effortlessly. I was saddened to learn that he passed so young in the 70s. I would have loved to hear him sing live in concert.

By the way, Clyde's cousin is the one who posted the above video on Youtube. He has since passed in 2013.

Hi!
Here Clyde does a fine version of Book of Memories - originally by Percy Wiggins - as one of his last recordings in 1970

Clyde McPhatter is one of my all time favorites! I was born in 1965 but was exposed to Clyde by my mother. First the Drifters and then the Dominoes and then after that the solo years...that's how I found out about Clyde. My favorites period was his time with the Dominoes; that was pure, raw, gut bucket R&B. The Atlantic stuff , once he went solo, started gravitating towards pop but was still quite good. He was, in my mind, one of a kind!!

Great song. Sounds like one of his latter recordings in the 70s.

"Money Honey" is going to play in my head for the next few hours thanks to this post. That's one of my favorite songs ever. Thanks, Marv [[sincerely).

Jerry you know you're welcome. We do not discuss most of the great artists that most of us loved on the forum anymore. Just one skinny female singer it seems. [[well she use to be skinny LOL!)
