C.P. Spencer - One Heart For Hire

C.P. Spencer, real name Crathtman P. Spencer, was the lead singer of Detroit doo-wop group The Voice Masters originally, before becoming much more famous as one of the two main leads of legendary Motown group, The Originals. They notched up many hits, especially "Baby I'm For Real", "The Bells", and "Down To Love Town". While doing Motorcity I managed to reunite the entire line-up for several recordings, plus I did several solo tracks with C.P. as well. This was the very first song I wrote this song for him in March 1989, later to be followed by "This Man Needs You", which became one of my favourite songs I'd ever written. In late 2007, I took out the video footage we'd filmed all those years ago at United Sound Studios in Detroit, and pieced together a brand new video using our remixed version that has so far never been released, so I took the footage of him singing in the studio all those years ago, and edited it together to the new version. I love this to bits. I hope you do too. Sadly he died a few years ago, so he'll never get to hear this wonderful new version.
