William Bollinger-You Can Lead Your Woman To The Altar

William Bollinger – You Can lead Your Woman to The Altar (by spinning45s)

William Bollinger was THE soul star of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, frequently performing at places like the Purple Crackle Club in East Cape Girardeau, Illinois, but he did most of his recording in Memphis, usually at Sounds of Memphis, which today is known as the House of Blues. Aside from a mention in the book Tales of an All-Night Town, which was largely about his outlaw brother James Bollinger and the town of Brooklyn, Illinois, Willie Bollinger has been largely forgotten since his death in 2003. Some interest in him has been aroused more recently as a result of the Ace/Kent reissues of XL/Sound of Memphis material, but a full CD-length retrospective of Bollinger’s work has yet to appear.

Eddie Giles – It Takes Me All Night (by SVM77)

Eddie Giles (now the Rev. Eddie Giles and still in Shreveport) was, along with Reuben Bell, one of the pillars of Shreveport soul, first coming to prominence with the classic “I’m A Losing Boy.” An early 1970’s collaboration with Jerry Strickland led to this Southern soul gem, “It Takes Me All Night (To Do What I Used To Do All Night).” The song was cut at Sound City Studios, Stewart Madison’s studio at 3316 Line Avenue in Shreveport in 1971.   The building still stands, although it is now a furniture store.

Soul Shouting Tommy- I’m The Man (by DerekSee)

The Anla label was a subsidiary of Eddie Shuler’s Goldband Distributing Corporation in Lake Charles, and, for the most part, was his home for the funkier side of Black music in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. The Soul Shouting Tommy 45 is one of the rarer Anla discs. I have never actually seen a copy.
