Die US-Single PHILIPS 40086 ist schon sehr obskur. Im an sich relativ genauen "Blues Records" von Leadbitter/Slaven scheint diese Single überhaupt nicht auf und der Titel "He Tells Me With His Eyes" auch nicht einmal als LP-Titel (unissued). Andererseits wurde diese Single laut "The Complete Library of American Phonograph Recordings" für 1963 behördlich angemeldet was aber kein Nachweis dafür ist, dass sie wirklich veröffentlicht wurde. Im Internet wird sie über ebay auch angeboten (Dieter hat dies bereits mit einem Link aufgezeigt), allerdings ohne Shot, was natürlich zu Denken gibt. Dass diese Single projektiert war halte ich, aufgrund des Vorhandenseins einer Nummer, für gegeben. Ob es tatsächlich ein Veröffentlichung gab und wenn auch nur als DJ-Copy, bleibt leider weiterhin offen.

Zur Philips-LP GOSPEL TIME:

The highs and lows of the American singer Ruth Brown's life merit a biopic. Dubbed the "original queen of R&B", she recorded hit songs like 'Teardrops from My Eyes', '(Mama) He Treats Your Daughter Mean', 'Lucky Lips' and 'This Little Girl's Gone Rockin'', becoming the first big-selling artist on Atlantic Records in the '50s - indeed the label was known as "the house that Ruth built" early on. However, as R&B mutated into soul in the early-'60s, Ruth fell from favor and she was out of the business entirely, broke and working as a maid. Her run of hits ended in 1960 with 'Don’t Deceive Me', and thereafter she was largely ignored by Atlantic - which by then had become a huge corporation -, and she decided to concentrate on raising her family. It would have been a sad way to end her career there, but somehow she managed to keep on releasing albums from time to time. One of her most interesting efforts from this strange period was Gospel Time, which she recorded after leaving Atlantic in 1962 (she issued sides for several labels during that decade, including Mainstream and Rhapsody.) Gospel Time was Ruth Brown's first and only gospel album, and meant a return to her roots, as she was as influenced by Billie Holiday as she was by Mahalia Jackson. The Lp was recorded in 1963 in Nashville under Shelby Singleton's direction, using country musicians. Ray Stevens of "Ahab the Arab" fame plays organ and vocal backgrounds are by the Milestone Singers. The most impressive cuts here are 'Closer Walk With Thee,' with soulful guitar licks from Jerry Kennedy and Harold Bradley; 'Peace in the Valley,' with nice piano triplets by Harold "Pig" Robbins; the beautiful 'Walk With Me'; a fabulous version of 'Milky White Way,' and 'Deep River', which she sings as if she had just heard Mahalia Jackson sing in a Storefront Church. Brown even tries her hand at preaching in a rocking version of 'Morning Train.' Overall, this is a surprisingly fine super rare album from the obscure days of a true R&B legend.
