Product Description
Freddie Hughes had one of the great falsetto soul voices of the era - pleading, celebratory, and always dripping with soul. The Oakland-based artist was popular in his home region of the Bay Area but did not achieve national recognition until the sweet soul ballad `Send My Baby Back' was an R&B smash in 1968.

On the hindlegs of the hit, Wand Records commissioned an album, which has subsequently become one of the most sought-after soul long players of the era. Stuffed with classy performances such as the uptown ballad `He's No Good' and northern fave `We Gotta Keep On', the album demonstrates the versatility of Hughes remarkable talent.

The album itself is a stone classic gem, but Kent have added a brace of additional tracks that further illustrate Hughes range, and give some glimpse of his R&B roots in the San Francisco music scene. These range from the non-LP single `My Baby Came Back' to the work of Hughes' incredible earlier duos: the Soul Brothers with Ken Pleasants, where we debut many unissued gems; and the Casanova II with Wiley Trass that give Sam & Dave a run for their money on their two rare singles for Early Bird.

With an informative booklet, this long overdue official reissue will be a treat for vintage soul fans of all shapes and sizes.
