Tommy Soul

This very fine version of Z Z Hill’s classic blues ballad “I Need Someone (To Love Me)” could hardly be more out of the way. Gaslight records? Tommy Soul? In any event Tommy Soul does the song justice, using a rough baritone voice and the production has all the right ingredients – some nice guitar fills, a churchy organ and some tasteful horns. Z Z’s version came out in 1965 so I guess this must have been recorded around that time.
