Thank you, Billy, for posting this here. I see that you've also posted 5 other Jr. Walker & the All Stars tracks on YouTube.

Yes indeed! I wanted to share some of his 70's stuff that's so sadly neglected.

I never heard this track before and it is a nice one! Thank you motown01.

Isn't this the album that was only released in the UK.

Yes, that is correct.

Thanks, motown01. We Americans are hearing these tracks for the first time, as this Jr. Walker album never saw the light of day here in the U.S. I love Jr.'s version of "Killing Me Softly", especially the swing-jazz portion. "I Ain't That Easy To Lose" is a great song, too, although I prefer The Supremes' [[J-M-C) version from their "Promises Kept" sessions. Still, I hope that Universal will see fit to release Jr.'s UK-only album here in the states, even if we have to settle for a download.
