Bogart had a lot of faith in his talent after spotting him on American Bandstand and his industry clout positioned \u003cstrong\u003eDimples\u003c\/strong\u003e to attract a wide, mainstream audience far beyond his previous cult independent LPs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe standout that looms large on \u003cem\u003e'Dimples'\u003c\/em\u003e is \u003cem\u003e'She's Got Papers on Me'\u003c\/em\u003e which sounds much like a stock soul ballad of the day: lush and pretty, with swooning background vocals and a sincere lead, but \u003cstrong\u003eDimples\u003c\/strong\u003e isn't serenading a love. Instead, he's complaining that he'd rather be with his mistress than with his wife who, unfortunately, holds that pesky marriage license (the \"papers\" in question). Ironically, it was never released as a single.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'Dimples'\u003c\/em\u003e was followed with the \u003cem\u003e'Mr Looks So Good'\u003c\/em\u003e album, the lead cut \u003cem\u003e'If It Ain't One Thing It's Another'\u003c\/em\u003e was his breakthrough track, reaching #1 on the R\u0026amp;B Chart and cracking the Top 50 on the Billboard chart. The \u003cem\u003e'Give Everybody Some'\u003c\/em\u003e album followed featuring the singles \u003cem\u003e'People Treat You Funky (When Ya Ain't Got No Money)'\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e'Don't Ever Stop Chasing Your Dreams'\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter leaving Boardwalk, \u003cstrong\u003eDimples\u003c\/strong\u003e signed with RCA and recorded the album \u003cem\u003e\"MMM...\"\u003c\/em\u003e. The label put its weight behind the glossy, uptempo, and double infidelity-themed \u003cem\u003e'Your Wife Is Cheatin' on Us'\u003c\/em\u003e which peaked at #32 on the R\u0026amp;B chart. On the follow-up album \u003cem\u003e'Dark Gable'\u003c\/em\u003e, Fields simply became \u003cstrong\u003eDimples\u003c\/strong\u003e for the standout cut \u003cem\u003e'Shake 'Em Down'\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Robinsongs","offers":[{"title":"CDx3","offer_id":50433668546891,"sku":"2194777","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Screenshot_2024-04-10_at_16.53.45_86a7678a_thumbnail_4096.png?v=1726881912","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/the-albums-1980-1985","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
