THE VELVETS- Let the Fool Kiss You (Monument 961)
The Odessa-American ran a story today on local combo the Velvets of "Tonight" fame, so I figured on throwing up my favorite number by the combo, "Let the Fool Kiss You", an original from group leader Virgil Johnson. "Let The Fool Kiss You" was actually released originally in 1964 with "If" on the flip. It then reappeared in 1966 paired with "Baby, the Magic Is Gone" which has found a second life on the dance floors amongst the Northern Soul crowd.
I previously Stomped their big Japanese hit "Lana" HERE.
And sorry about the condition of this particular 45... not one of their more common singles, and when it pops up there's usually competition among the continental dance n' dj crowd.
