That's weird. The Laura & Willie makes sense, since it was with the same
American studios band that she recorded In Memphis with, least as far as I
remember. But the Gamble & Huff stuff? On the Philly box set, there's a
great, great Dusty cut called Silly, Silly Fool. Is that one of them? The
box says that was originally off a 1970 Atlantic album called A Brand New
Me. I went out yesterday to look for just that disc, in fact, at the local
used shops. But no luck. And now this...
Very sad. Very great singer. --david cantwell
