1,318) John Fitch & Assoc. — “Romantic Attitude”
Man, do I love this song! “A MEAN KILLER SOUL TUNE” (MASTERTMUSIC, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=H9LvOfJKHDo), “Bitchin funk. Damn.” (neutrinojones3493, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=H9LvOfJKHDo). “Absolutely incredible…the first time I heard this track my jaw was on the floor”. (jobeyrm, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CT-SYOTHIak&pp=ygUYSm9obiBmaXRjaCAmIGFzc29jaWF0ZXMu)
The Listening Post enthuses:
“RA” is “[e]xcellent in every way . . . [an] absolute cracker! . . . strong, rich and tender! . . .heartfelt vocals . . . hurl out sonic highs and intense lows . . . . A heavy melodic bass line guides the song giving depth and texture as a contrasting jangly loop cuts through and punctuates. A gorgeous track!
As to John Henry, The Listening Post tells us that:
John Henry Fitch Jr was a r’n’b singer-songwriter and guitarist active around the late 60’s. He was also a member of Philadelphia’s r’n’b/soul 4-piece, The Show Stoppers with whom he wrote and played guitar – the group were best remembered for their 1968 hit, “Ain’t Nothin’ But a House Party”. In 1968, while the Show Stoppers were in the UK supporting their hit single . . . Fitch was given a contract for a solo single on UK’s Beacon Records . . . .
Fitch gives a shout out to his UK fans! —
