It keeps getting deeper


Frankie Beverly & the Butlers: "Love (Your Pain Goes Deep)" (Gamble, 1968)



The Eddy Jacobs Exchange: "Love (Your Pain Goes Deep)" (Columbia, 19??)

The arrangement on the Eddy Jacobs version is weird and awesome-- there's the wild intro with the guitar part and then the drum part that seem to be drawn from two totally different songs and then there's the monologue. The guy who's responsible, Harry Whitaker, was the arranger for Roberta Flack and Roy Ayers and recorded this awesome thing.
