I see Freddie Scott died last week. In 1967 he recorded "He Ain't Give You None" for Shout. It's a Van Morrison song but I'm sure Morrison would be the first to concede that his version can't hold a candle to Freddie's. It's one of those three minute records that is worth the life's work of most white rock groups.Sunday, June 10, 2007
Freddie Scott: He Ain't Give You None
I see Freddie Scott died last week. In 1967 he recorded "He Ain't Give You None" for Shout. It's a Van Morrison song but I'm sure Morrison would be the first to concede that his version can't hold a candle to Freddie's. It's one of those three minute records that is worth the life's work of most white rock groups.
And thus rather a shame that the powers that be can't get one of his titles out on release.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting that one. Never heard it before. Didn't know he had died.
ReplyDeleteI bought 'Are You Lonely For Me' back in the mid-60's. One of my favourite singles. Lost it in the 70's and finally found it again on a file-sharing site. Now I can't find the file.
Ronnie Wood covered 'Am I Grooving You' on his first album. I remember an interviewer noting a copy of the Freddie Scott single nailed to the wall in his studio.
