The record
A honey-toned soul-jazz vocal date from the mid-'60s, working the same warm, gospel-inflected pocket as the King Curtis standard it borrows its title from. Fontana's production frames Lynne's voice with the kind of easy, late-night swing built for a room full of low light and good listening.

Pressings
Fontana issued this in 1965 in both configurations -- stereo SRF 67541, the earliest on file, and mono MGF 27541. The stereo turns up from two plants, Pitman and Richmond, and there is a stereo promo as well. Beyond a 1964 promo 7-inch, DJS-4, and a jukebox mini-album, SRF-750-C, we hold nothing later: no reissue of any weight is on file for this title.
