Do Your Duty/ Love's Made A Fool Out Of Me

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, with a drillhole. Can you say "sexy"? It's really hard to not think about sex when listening to this woman pleading for it... and pleading so nicely, too! Lavette is one the most under-appreciated female soul singers from the classic period, and this is one of her best numbers. Despite all her great records, she never even cracked the Bilozoard Hot 100 singles chart, and had only one top 10 RnB single (and it was a ballad, not the funky soul she really excelled at). The A side is an even funkier rendition of a tune Gloria Taylor recorded for the B side of a 1968 single. Note: The drillhole may appear in a different location on the label than shown in the scan.
