Plays at the 100 Club and other venues of ill-repute, has made it a must-play, dancefloor-filling track.  Carolyn Crawford had a brief sojourn at Mickey Stevenson’s Mpingo label, in the early 70s, as a temporary member of Hodges, James \u0026amp; Smith when they were billed as The Firm Of Hodges, James, Smith \u0026amp; Crawford. Stevenson International’s tapes revealed that Mickey had also cut some solo tracks with Carolyn. ‘Ready Or Not Here Comes Love’ has already wowed the Northern Soul world; this fabulous self-written song will cross over to all scenes. Its slow, steady, groove start builds up to an infectious rhythm that few can resist. Congas abound and a subtle brass section layers the music to perfection. The jazz element will see this 45 accepted on all rare black music scenes.  The flip ‘Sugar Boy’ is more typical of Carolyn and Mickey’s time at Motown with a bouncy beat and appropriately cute lyrics. Both sides debut here. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kent","offers":[{"title":"Black 7\"","offer_id":50443501928779,"sku":"2176112","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Screenshot_2024-01-19_at_13.43.43_06c45c73_thumbnail_4096.png?v=1727015664"},{"product_id":"it-takes-a-lotta-teardrops-im-in-love","title":"It Takes A Lotta Teardrops \/ I'm In Love","description":"\u003cp\u003eAnother top class Mickey Stevenson production on ‘It Takes A Lotta Teardrops’. The Leon Ware and Vicki Basemore song was also covered by Kim Weston but neither version was released at the time. The recording is in a classic Motown style and this could have been the reason why it was shelved in 1972, being somewhat dated – though still perfect for Motown and Northern Soul devotees. The flip is from Carolyn Crawford’s collaboration with Hodges, James and Smith in 1971 when the foursome released two 45s on the M’Pingo label. ‘I’m In Love’ was a more current sound for the time and is perfect for Modern and Crossover rooms today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kent","offers":[{"title":"Black 7\"","offer_id":50468774609227,"sku":"2216860","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/CITY__098A_04da30cc_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727351538"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/carolyn-crawford.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
