Maxine Weldon / Peggy Woods I'm The Other Half Of You / You'd Better Be Good To My Baby

One of my favourite Spring singles has always been 'I'm The Other Half Of You' by the supremely talented singer/songwriter and producer Ray Godfrey aka Raeford Gerald. When we looked further at the multi-track master tapes of the session, we found a glorious female version, utilising the same backing track, by Maxine Weldon. It is so good it deserves the honour of a Deep Soul release. Many decades earlier, we had found a beautiful Val Simpson and Nick Ashford song by the then unknown Peggy Woods, again such a beautiful recording is deserving of a 45 pressing for collectors.
