60s MOTOWN/NORTHERN SOUL
ORIGINAL U.S. ISSUE
THEIR FINAL 45 FOR THE MOTOWN GROUP
INITIALLY EARMARKED FOR RELEASE ON V.I.P. 25049
IS IT COINCIDENCE THAT IT APPEARED ON GORDY 35049?
ONE OF MOTOWN'S MOST UNDER-RATED GROUPS
WHO DIDN'T HAVE ANY TMG RELEASES AT ALL IN BRITAIN
BUT AS THE NEW MONITORS ON BUDDAH
THE MONITORS
"STEP BY STEP (HAND IN THE HAND)"
HEAR HERE!
A. Mid-tempo, lightweight funk; penned and produced by James Dean and William Witherspoon; from a glut of peace and love message songs that emerged in the period following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King; pulled from the group's only album - "Greetings We're The Monitors" - which collects much of their earlier V.I.P. work, and marks the group's only UK release from the period
b/w
"TIME IS PASSIN' BY"
HEAR HERE!
B. Solid Northern dancer from the same writing/production as above, and from the same LP; built on a "don't stop and watch the clock, don't wait, don't hesitate" theme; deserves to be much better known (but I'm doubtful it ever will be)
