I believed this was the only 45 by Barbara Christian and her fine tone and excellent rhythmic sense deserved to be recorded more often. Although the top side is a swinging uptempo number that has had Northern action the flip is about 100 times better. I Worry is a lovely melodic deep soul item full of emotion with arpeggio guitar and dramatic horns.

Writer producer and label owner Gary Brown came from Wisconsin and cut his own version of this number. But although his talents on show here are very clear sadly his voice wasn’t a patch on Barbara’s splendid delivery.

*Courtesy of Bob McGrath I later heard of two further 45s listed below - does anyone know more about these two recordings?
