Don Gardner & Dee Dee Ford I Need Your Lovin' - The Fire Records Sessions (CD)

(Sunset Boulevard Records) 27 tracks, digisleeve

The duo of Don Gardner and Dee Dee Ford hit the charts nationwide in 1962 with "I Need Your Lovin'," a Top 20 pop and R&B hit along the lines of Ike & Tina Turner. This reissue of their best work includes the original "I Need Your Lovin'" LP in its original order, as well as many tracks, including the long, unedited version of the title tune alongside the single version - a masterful example of the editing that turned a jam into a powerful, hook-laden hit. Also included are the R&B chart hits "Don't You Worry" & "Lead Me On", making this album the definitive set from one of the most dynamic R&B duos of the early 60s.
