FRED HUGHES: THE FLAME STILL BURNS

Hughes

Fred Hughes: My Heart Cries Oh (Vee Jay, 1966, 7″)

Deep-ish Northern-ish soul out of Los Angeles.

I initially assumed this was the same guy as Freddie Hughes but nope: two different guys. Another Groove Merchant pick-up, I gelled with the quality of the vocals and songwriting but also the fact that the song is titled “My Heart Cries Oh” (not “On”) as is sometimes erroneously transcribed.
