{"title":"Shorty Long","description":"\u003cp\u003eShorty Long, born Frederick Earl Long, was an influential American soul singer, songwriter, and musician active in the 1960s. A versatile artist, Long played multiple instruments and was known for his innovative use of the piano and organ in his compositions. He was one of the first Motown artists to write, produce, and perform his own songs, creating hits like \"Function at the Junction\" and \"Here Comes the Judge.\" His fluid style and pioneering work have earned him a significant place in the history of soul and R\u0026amp;B music.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"chantilly-lace-your-love-is-amazing","title":"Chantilly Lace\/ Your Love Is Amazing","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you have trouble imagining what \"Chantilly Lace\" might sound like as a Motown-style soul song, you're not alone.  But once you hear it, you're certain to wonder why you couldn't imagine it before.  :-)  Unfortunately, I think a lot of deejays had the same conceptual difficulty back in 1966 and never even bothered to give this one a spin.  The flip is an excellent, very danceable version of the H-D-H song that appeared on the B side of the Four Tops hit \"It's The Same Old Song\" the year before.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shorty Long","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48514167800041,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/8508\/9001\/files\/shortylong4.gif?v=1752181389"},{"product_id":"devil-with-the-blue-dress-1","title":"Devil With The Blue Dress \/ It's A Crying Shame","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally released on Soul 35001.
