Carl Douglas - Crazy Feeling

UK collection from the Jamaican vocalist. Mention the name Carl Douglas and the global chart topper 'Kung Fu Fighting' immediately springs to mind. But back in the mid-late 1960s, Douglas fronted a succession of Soul and R&B bands in Swinging London. From late 1965 through to early 1967 Douglas cut nearly a dozen unreleased tracks plus a brace of singles, all mod/dance floor classics and collected together for the first time, by Acid Jazz Records, on this compilation. This LP offers a rare glimpse of Douglas' burgeoning talent. Carl's later, and more polished recordings, featuring top session players, guitarist Big Jim Sullivan, organist Harry Stoneham and bass player John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) among others, provide the instrumental backing on the singer's finest outing - the frantic, infectious soul number 'Crazy Feeling', the title of this release.
