Further evidence that being being perenially slow on the
uptake can reap rich rewards: I've just discovered Carla
Thomas's "I'll Never Stop Loving
You"! Imagine...until last Saturday I'd never heard it! Well,
maybe I had at some Northern Soul or Mod night or other but I just became
truly aware of it last Saturday when I listened to
Kent's recent compilation of the best cuts
from the 6Ts Soul Society's anniversary singles. It's one of
the strongest Kent collections I've heard in a good while but Carla's track and
The Teardrops' barnstorming "Here Comes Loneliness" are the ones that have burrowed their way deepest into my
affections to the point where whole days could pass without me listening or even
wanting to listen to anything else. After about the 15th play of "I'll Never
Stop Loving You" at work today I thought I'd better retire it for a while
just incase I wore it out but no sooner had the cd stopped than I found
myself needing to hear it again so instead of ejecting the disc I gave
it a 16th play and a 17th. Somehow when it wasn't playing the day seemed
hollower, less beautiful. The reasons why I love this song and production are myriad so it's simpler just to say that in my opinion everything about this record is perfect; there's simply nothing that I would change if I had the ability to do so. How often can you say that?
