Amazing low-rider soul ballad from little-known artist, Darondo – a favourite track among soul collectors. Back in the day, Darondo could be seen cruising around New York in his white Rolls Royce (with a ‘Darondo’ license plate), wearing tailor made suits and rocking out with diamond rings. He once opened-up for James Brown and lived a colourful lifestyle hanging with folks like the notorious Fillmore Slim, but his career was short-lived and he faded into obscurity after three singles. Sounds a little too bling bling for my liking, but it’s hard to top this soul drenched beauty. Ubiquity Records put out Darondo – Let My People Go in 2006, a combination of old and new material. Not sure how good it is though… for me, it’s all about this one track.
