duets2 # 4
(Loe & Joe - Little Ole Boy, Little Ole Girl)
slipping out of the Jamaican selection into some Detroit action with a piece from one of post war urban music's great innovators Harvey Fuqua...original lead singer of the Moonglows, (musicology #46), and Soul legend. influential in moulding the new sound that sprung out of the wells of Rhythm & Blues and Gospel, Harvey Fuqua helped, (along with Berry Gordy, Smokey Robinson, Marv Johnson...), to 'create' the Detroit sound as head of artistic development at Motown after tiring of the effort required to run his own label, (which this one is on),
the duet is courtesy of almost unknown pairing, Lorrie Rudolph and Joe Murphy, who certainly do the song justice. more than that I can only add that it's a 45 from 1961 and it's on the 'Harvey' label.
