I recently stumbled onto an old blog which had been inactive for more than a year. It was subtitled "rare 60s soul and vintage r&b" so I was excited. Remarkably, all the posted podcasts (14 of them) were still available, and they had been created in a way (no mixing) that made it relatively easy to separate the individual tracks. With 10 to 13 tracks per podcast, it turned out to be a treasure of material, much of which I didn't have and hadn't heard before.
This is the number one reason that I love music on the internet. You have this incredible ability to stumble into someone else's record collection and hear what they've determined to be the very best.
Today's track, Do-Wah-Diddy by the Exciters is one of the tracks from the blog. Who knew? I'd never heard their version, and it turns out that their version was the first. It's fantastic!
I immediately set out searching for the 45, and last week I got lucky...
