 From a warehouse find, here's a beautiful copy of one of Diamond's most loved classics, in a vintage Uni Records factory sleeve.It's interesting to note that this authentic-sounding Southern Soul number was produced by the legendary team from American Studios in Memphis, including Chips Moman. Moman was one of the most significant writer/producers of the 1960s, starting with Stax Studios and then forming American Studios later on. Among the soul artists ? nearly all from the South ? he produced or co-produced/engineered were:
- William Bell ("You Don't Miss Your Water")
- James & Bobby Purify ("Shake A Tail Feather")
- Joe Simon ("(You Keep Me) Hangin' On", "No Sad Songs")
- Bobby Womack ("What Is This," "More Than I Can Stand")
- King Curtis ("Foot Pattin'")
- Jamo Thomas ("Bahama Mama"), and
- Oscar Toney, Jr. ("For Your Precious Love")
His other contributions to soul music was as a songwriter, usually with fellow, and equally legendary Memphian Dan Penn. Three of his credits are in Dave Marsh's list of the 1,001 greatest singles of Rock 'n' Soul:
- "The Dark End of the Street" (James Carr)
- "Do Right Woman-Do Right Man" (Aretha Franklin), and
- "Making Love (At The Dark End of the Street" (Clarence Carter)
His work at American Studios became a signature, clean sound with a washing of soul. Among the artists he produced heavily are:
- Box Tops
- Sandy Posey
- B.J. Thomas
- The Gentrys, and
- Merrilee Rush
"Brother Love" was the only single he produced for Neil Diamond.
Note: The labels all grade Near Mint to reflect the drillhole and some modicum of storage wear to the labels, in an otherwise perfectly Mint record.
