"Originally from Gadsden, Alabama, Willie Hightower only released three singles whilst contracted to Fame in the early seventies, but they're three of the greatest soul records ever made, six simple songs that contain all that's magical about southern soul. They stand alongside anything to come out of Rick Hall's small studio, which is saying something when you count in classics like Etta James' 'I'd Rather Go Blind', Otis Redding's 'You Left The Water Running', Aretha Franklin's 'Do Right Woman, Do Right Man'. That's not even getting into the records that Rick released on his own Fame imprint by artists like Candi Staton, Spencer Wiggins and George Jackson. This EP from Honest Jon's comprises all six sides Willie Hightower cut at Fame Studios."
