Hi Mike..hows things? Not seen them before either,really enjoyed those. I had "Drowning" 7" on Sound Stage 7 label in one of those Contempo soul packs back in 73 ish. Forgot all about it. Thanks for putting it up !

The lp of 'Drowning' is excellent as well; not a bad cut. Several other Simon lps are excellent as well - thanks for reminding us all of this great singer.

Cheers

whilst we are appreciating Joe, here is a live performance of his first arr&bee number one! 1969. Cool as a cucumber......... if Jerry wasn't The Ice Man, The title should have gone to Joe. Sublimely effortless, yet great panache.
