Product Description
The next step of our adventure through the Fame Records catalogue focuses on the singles of Clarence Carter, Fame­'s biggest star. His 45s from this period were issued on Fame, Atlantic and United Artists. For the first time ever we bring together every A and B-side he recorded for Rick Hall.

The first volume covers the singles released between 1966-1970, including the million-selling ­'Slip Away­', and five other top ten R&B hits including '­Too Weak To Fight­' and ­'Snatching It Back­'. It also includes classic southern R&B dancers ­'Looking For A Fox­', ­'Tell Daddy­' and ­'Thread The Needle­'.

Clarence is backed on many of these records by the classic first Fame rhythm section of Roger Hawkins, David Hood, Jimmy Johnson, and Barry Beckett; every track is produced by Rick Hall. All but the sadly departed Beckett gave exclusive interviews about Clarence Carter for the sleeve notes.
