Daily Find – Hey Love by Mr. Clean & The Soul Inc. – Rare Group Sweet Soul 45 on Radio City

Daily Discovery - Hey Love by Mr. Clean & The Soul Inc. - Rare Group Sweet Soul 45 on Radio City #500. Flip side "I Bet He Don't Love You"

Extremely rare record from San Diego California. This is the same Radio City label that Rosey Grier's New Yorkers Northern Soul classic was released on. Both sides on this record are Group Soul gold with an incredible cover of the Intruders, "I Bet He Don't Love You" and "Hey Love" which I originally thought was a cover of the Stevie Wonder classic but turned out to be very different upon listening again. "Hey Love" is a cover of the song originally sung by the Rotary Connection and was written by Charles Stepney and Richard Rudolph.

Daily Find – My Man’s An Undertaker by Dinah Washington

Daily Discovery - My Man's An Undertaker by Dinah Washington. The sheer song title should freak you out. "My man's an undertaker and he's got a coffin just your size". Don't mess with the Queen! Dinah was best know for "What A Difference A Day Makes. Wicked R&B Jazz vocals.

Daily Find – Ghost Riders In The Sky by Scat Man Crothers

Daily Discovery - Ghost Riders In The Sky by Scat Man Crothers. Nice Jazz version of this Country cowboy standard. I love his very slight twist on the classic "bookety bookety boop" and breathing into the mic toward the end of the clip.

Daily Find – The Message by Brass Construction

Daily Discovery - The Message by Brass Construction. Dr. Dre sampled this on NWA's I Ain't The One. Killer Funk Soul sample. Dr. Dre is a master at finding these types of hooks and creating beats to bob your head to. Sometimes they are as easy as pulling out your, or if you are younger your parents records off the shelf and find mellow subtle beats to create for yourself. This is from the Brass Construction II Lp and you can find a sample on "What's On Your Mind" by rapper Biz Markie and "Sambo" by house music dj Bob Sinclair.

Daily Discovery - Daddy-O by Bonnie Lou. It was pretty rare back in the 50's to have a female Rockabilly artist but Bonnie Lou is definitely a good one. King #4835 on the newspaper print label. This one is from 1955. Another tune for the fathers out there. Happy Fathers Day!
