Jesse Slaughter

This one off release is in demand thanks to the dancer’s favourite “I Had A Dream” which is notable only for the co-writer credit to the wonderful Paul Kelly. Much better is the official A side ListenHow Does It Make You Feel, a tremendous deep soul ballad which features a really heartfelt vocal from Mr Slaughter. Was this recorded in Nashville and does the “P K Production” label text indicate that Mr Kelly did the honours?

UPDATE ~ Florida soul expert Jeff Lemlich has been in touch. He writes:-

"It should be noted that Jesse Slaughter & Paul Kelly also co-wrote Annetta's"Since There's No More Of You" and the Love Hill label was, according to the label, "affiliated with Les-Stan Records". Both were P.K. productions (yes, that was Paul Kelly), and the label graphics are nearly identical. (Both also share the same number, 001). Reading the dead wax, I see that the Jesse Slaughter 45 was mastered by Chuck Kirkpatrick (who worked at Criteria)."

I'm very grateful to Jeff for this excellent info.
