about

Two absolute winners from Gino Parks, a singer whose career took off when he moved to Detroit in the mid-50s. Beginning with a number of duets with the notorious Andre Williams for the equally legendary Fortune label, Parks then appeared as a solo artist for Berry Gordy's then fledgling Tamla stable. These two sides appeared in 1962 on the second of three singles cut for Tamla. This is really a true double A, we're sure you will find it impossible to pick between the evocative, infectious early soul sound of 'For This I Thank You' and the all guns blazing R&B explosion of 'Fire'. Our solution is to play them back to back, loud...

Another one of my favorite AA titles. Snaky, jazzy melodies played over funky rhythms. One of those albums you won't even realize how often you've been playing it. bjlefebvre

An excellent disco/soul/tropical track that wouldn't feel out of place with the productions of August Darnell. JoronJoron
