Marion Black “Go On Fool b/w Who Knows” 7″ (Sky Blue Vinyl)

For our 100th Eccentric Soul 45, Numero returns to our Ohio roots with three replica 45s from the Capsoul universe. Marion Blacks timeless two-sider Who Knows b/w Go On Fool made a few blips upon its 1970 release, but has taken on a life of its own soundtracking prestige TV and car commercials around the globe and finally going gold after 65 years. We discovered Ron Harringtons Because Youre Mine demo amongst the Capsoul tapes, a demo cut for founder Bill Moss that never escaped greater Columbus. The mid-tempo harmony joint It Happened To Me Again adorns the flip, with a lo-fi funk backbeat tossed in for good measure. Capsouls crown jewel group harmony quartet Johnson, Hawkins, Tatum & Durr cut just two records in their short time together, but the quartets You Cant Blame Me has endured as a classic example of the raw and unhinged soul sound that Numero is known for. Eccentric Soul from the heart of it all.
