I'm Evil Tonight / Show It (Advanced Promotion)
50 ADVANCE PROMOTION copies available to pre- order. These exclusive black & white label DJ demos replicate the rare and sought-after original Soul City releases. Strictly limited to 50 copies. After the demise of Soul City DAVE GODIN compiled his top 1,000 soul songs and high on that list was soul sister BETTY HARRIS. Born in Orlando, Florida in 1939 American Soul Singer Betty Harris earned a reputation that far exceeded her commercial success and today, her recordings for the Sansu record label are highly sought after by fans of both Northern and Deep Soul. In 1964, Harris switched record labels from Jubilee to Sansu, a New Orleans label, where she was introduced to and produced by the legendary Allen Toussaint. Practically all her recordings featuring Toussaint's raw yet sophisticated Southern Soul arrangements are considered prime specimens of the classic soul era. The first single – our chosen A-side – was the superb, mid-tempo, atmospheric and haunting “I’m Evil Tonight”, complete with instant hook and dramatic orchestration. Our B-side is the joyous “Show It” propelled by a beat that is impossible not to dance to. It has become a “sister-funk” anthem for the 21st Century Northern and funk DJs making this exclusive double-sider a must-have Soul City release. A fine salute to the Soul City founding fathers Dave Godin, David Nathan and Robert Blackmore. TRACKLIST 45 A. I’m Evil Tonight B. Show It
