Subject: Carl Carlton
Written By: whistledog on 09/16/07 at 2:24 pm
Detroit born Carl Carlton was a moderately successful funk/R&B singer. Though he didn't have many hits, does anyone remember him ?
I LOVE his version of 'Baby, I Need Your Loving'. He was (i believe) the first to have a hit with it since Johnny Rivers in 1967. The original was (of course) performed by The Four Tops in 1964
1970 - Drop By My Place
1974 - Everlasting Love
1975 - Smokin' Room
1981 - She's A Bad Mama Jama (She's Built She's Stacked)
1982 - Baby, I Need Your Loving

It is yes. Did you know The Love Affair version was also a cover ?

No, but there is another cover by Robert Knight.
On further research, it was Robert Knight who had the original version in 1967 and was re-released in 1974, which the latter I recall.

Robert Knight was the first to record it. Another cover of it was by Rex Smith and Rachel Sweet (1981)

'She's A Bad Mama Jama' wasn't a big hit, but I bet a lot of people (especially of my age) remember it!
It was huge in the clubs and I'm sure it's also been sampled a few times on some 'newfangled' records...
His version of 'Everlasting Love' isn't bad, but I still prefer the Love Affair version over anyone's...

I love his version of Everlasting Love. Excellent! :D
I remember She's A Bad Mama Jama, too (the song that kept him from being a one-hit-wonder)
