Song:Someday We'll Be Together
Album:Soulsville Sings Hitsville: Stax Sings Songs Of Motown Records
This cover of The Supremes hit Someday We'll Be Together is another great cover from this great various artists comp. It's from Frederick Knight's 1973 album I've Been Lonely For So Long. Knight had a hit with that but turned to producing in 1975 and still does that today. He was born Aug. 15, 1944 in Birmingham, AL. After studying music at Alabama A&M College and unsuccessfully trying to launch a music career in New York, he moved back home and signed with Stax after sending them a demo. I've Been Lonely For So Long was a top ten R & B hit in 1972. Knight started his own Juana label in 1975 and is probably best known for writing and producing Anita Ward's 1979 smash hit Ring My Bell. I'm sure he's still getting royalty cheques today. Knight turned Juana into a gospel label in 2000 and with distribution from Malaco Records, he continues to produce music from his home in Birmingham. Be sure to check out the great Soulsville Sings Hitsville comp. Here's a video of Into The Mystic by Frederick Knight.
