Carolyn Crawford - It Takes A Lotta Teardrops / Hodges James Smith & Crawford I'm In Love

Kent CITY 098

Mint

We follow up Carolyn Crawford’s recent big selling Kent 45 ‘Get Up And Move’ with another top class Mickey Stevenson production on ‘It Takes A Lotta Teardrops’.

The Leon Ware and Vicki Basemore song was also covered by Kim Weston but neither version was released at the time. The recording is in a classic Motown style and this could have been the reason why it was shelved in 1972, being somewhat dated – though still perfect for Motown and Northern Soul devotees.

The flip is from Carolyn Crawford’s collaboration with Hodges, James & Smith in 1971 when the foursome released two 45s on the M’Pingo label. ‘I’m In Love’ was a more current sound for the time and is perfect for Modern and Crossover rooms today.
