dlloyd Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Thanks to another thread, I've been listening to some old Northern Soul stuff and I stumbled over this... The track is Brenda Holloway's "Reconsider", which was recorded by Motown, but never officially released... It's a great song, no idea why they didn't release it. Is the bassist James Jamerson? Sure sounds like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I think that Brenda Holloway only recorded on the West Coast. Sounds very "subdued" for JJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Not definitive but hope this helps from: [url="http://sixtiesmotown.co.uk/brenda%20holloway%20motown%20anthology.html"]http://sixtiesmotown.co.uk/brenda%20hollow...0anthology.html[/url] Seasoned Motown fans and northern soulies will need no introduction to this great lady's talents and will no doubt already own her two LP's issued during the 1960's which are re-produced here in their entirety namely 'Every Little Bit Hurts' and the even rarer 'The Artistry Of Brenda Holloway' from 1967, which kicks off disc 2 opening with the previously unreleased stereo mix of the northern soul favourite 'Think It Over' (before you break my heart) aka 'Reconsider' and one has to say it sounds so much better in stereo and remains as one of her most memorable moments with the label and a stellar performance from the Funk Brothers on backing.
