Darrow Fletcher What Good Am I Without You

Two classic sides from the Michigan soul singer with a stash of soul goodies in his repertoire. The original pressing of ‘what goodam i without you’ from 1967 on Jacklyn records
goes for just over £200 and one listen explains why. Featuring an emotional heart-wrenching vocal soaked with flying strings over an impulsive rhythm, it’s a lovelorn anthem; an
emotional rollercoaster…
backed with ‘that certain little something’ from the groovy label 12 months earlier. A funky guitar-led scorcher with a bluesy brass break and a spin and drop chorus aided by a
rampaging drummer. Two must-have sides from fletcher, a child prodigy, who found success in Chicago in the mid-‘60s which led to shows with Stevie Wonder and B B King among others.
