Don & Dee Dee Ford Gardner

Need Your Loving 1954-1962 Don & Dee Dee Ford Gardner

27 tracks by the legendary Don Gardner, 15 of which are with the equally legendary Dee Dee Ford. This is the first time that his early Philadelphia recordings have been coupled with the more famous New York recordings for the Fire Label. "I Need Your Lovin'" was a mod anthem in the mid-1960s all over the UK and is one of that select collection '60s R&B tracks that is often considered to have been a chart hit when in fact it wasn't. The compilation features the whole of their Fire LP, which was a legendary collectors' item amongst serious mods throughout the nation. The earliest tracks on this compilation from 1954 feature the legendary organist, Jimmy Smith who got his first break in the business playing for Don's groups. Fully detailed liner notes.
