Speaking of unsung.His voice reeks of soul http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMO3HOeIZVQ

The late L.V use to call Chi-Town home.

That is true. His song "It's So Cold & Mean" is a great song. It speaks with a lot of truth.

When did he die? I don't recall hearing anything...

Best,

Mark

I love this one by him ........ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjOahr5Ag0w
This has ecaped on UK bootleg 45's at least twice, what was its 'real' label of release [[in the US) ??
Its the same song that was was put out by J J Barnes on Volt [[wasn't JJ one of the co-writers of the song).

Pulled out my Goldmine Sevens 45 version of the above & it states 'Previously Unreleased' on the label
...... so I guess it never did manage a US release back in the day.

I get a kick out of the line from "It's not my time" ....whoah the dirty dog came by and he robbed me blind.Oh Lord.It's not my time".
