Dee Ervin You Make Me Happy / Give Me One More Day

Dee Ervin suffered collateral damage from GRC/Aware's bankruptcy. He only got to release two mediocre sides on Hotlanta but these recordings match anything he created in a successful career throughout the 60s & 70s. By 1974 he was as much a composer as artist, but he excels at both on these two numbers that were fully produced and ready for release. 'You Make Me Happy' is a terrific uptempo dance track that recently featured on CDKEND 512 "Masterpieces Of Modern Soul; Vol 6". 'Give Me One More Day' was issued erroneously in 1975 as a Tribe LP track on ABC, but the session details clearly have it as a Dee Ervin recorded number.
