What a voice and excellent production from Brian Holland and Lamont Dozier - a Motown classic, maybe equalled but not passed by others on the seminal label.
My Dad Brian used to play Sax on live gigs with them, I have a great promo photo of them, not sure how to add it here, can always email to anyone interested if you want?
No doubt one if the best Northern Soul tracks ever recorded. I love that it is a bit quicker than just 45rpm - same as I did back in the 90s with the Technics player.
After all these years, 10, 12 or more I have taken time to read all these comments posted thru out the years. As The bassist, leader of the Blendells and been there when all this went down in 1964, I take issues with most all of these posts... got it wrong, using stories from a bad source or making it up. Here's a brief on the Blendells: 1. We were one of many garage bands of the 60's, 2. We did perform at the Paramount Ballroom ELA , 3. Huggies Bunnies was written by Andy Tesso (Romancers Slauson Shuffle), 4. Huggies Bunnies was written for Huggie Boy, &. LaLaLaLaLa was always side A & Huggies Bunnies side B. 6. We didn't have to save any money to record. LaLaLaLaLa is a Stevie Wonder Tune that Ron Chipres (Blendells Drummer) introduced which we used as a regular song on our set lists. 7. Recorded Live at Stereo Masters recording studio.
One of the best record ever! I've been listening to this for what seems like forever and i just can't get enough. The Artistics had a few R&B hits..."I'm Gonna Miss You" was a HUGE hit for them, but "This Heart of Mine" was a classic.
