Two major soul sides, one from the Twinight catalogue, one from Capsoul.
Velma Perkins is the sister of guitarist, songwriter and producer Al Perkins (whose Atco 45, Nothing Is Impossible, was a big Northern sound). A successful songwriter in her own right under her married name Vee Allen, Yes, My Goodness, Yes was the flipside of her only Twinight single, her 1970 debut 45 ,Ill Always Love You.
With more than a touch of Diana-era Supremes, its a gorgeous uptempo groove with typical Twinight horns and a funky guitar that could well be Al himself lending a hand. Its a super rare 45 that never seems to come up for sale these days.
Cut with Johnson, Hawkins, Tatum & Durrs debut single for Capsoul, You Cant Blame Me. Signed to the label by DJ and singer Bill Moss (his Sock It To Em Soul Brother on Pama is a corker) as The Revelations, the band changed name and cut two 45s before disappearing. A super soulful funky mid-tempo tune that lets all five (even though there are just four names in their chosen name) vocalists lay down a super plush soundtrack. Punctuated with strings, its a magnificent full-on sound that goes for over 30 on seven inch.
