C.P. Spencer - This Man Needs You

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. I co-wrote this song for him with Sylvia Moy in 1990, and it became one of my favourite songs I'd ever written. In late 2006, I took out the master tape and started again from scratch, creating a brand new song and new production around the original vocals, for my new album "Sold Ground" on Goldsoul records. 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. If I can make music like this, I can be proud. Sadly he died a few years ago, so he'll never get to hear this wonderful new version.
