Some Kind Of Magic - the Magic of Bobby Hebb 45's

Did you know that Some Kind of Magic was also released with "Good, Good Lovin'"  on a 45 RPM?

Here's my theory on this.   "Love Love Love" became a big hit in 1972 - 6 years after its first release on the 1966 "Sunny" lp, and that's thanks to Northern Soul.

So it appears the Artie "The Rain The Park & Other Things' Kornfeld/Jerry Ross/Joe Renzetti 45 RPM from 1967, "Some Kind of Magic" was paired up with "Good, Good Lovin'  - the Barry Mann / Cynthia Weil tune from the Sunny album, in 1972 or so in the U.K.  

Anyone with info, please send it along.

KEEP IN MIND THAT IN ASIA BOTH
BOBBY HEBB and JERRY BUTLER were teamed up with each other on a 45 RPM - Bobby singing "Sunny" and Butler singing "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay" which we have 2 versions of Bobby performing, none released yet.

So Butler and Hebb both recorded "Some Kind of Magic" and "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay" and were paired up on a 45 in Asia - and both artists
were produced by Jerry Ross with Joe Renzetti
as arranger.

A fan writes:

What a great record this is! I discovered it on the B side of his non-charting "I Love Everything About You," which was his 5th of 7 singles released on the Philips label. 9 of the 14 songs that made it to Philips label singles were never part of Bobby's only LP for the label, this tune included. It certainly deserved more of a chance, in my opinion. Jerry Butler first recorded the song on his 1966 lp called Soul Artistry, but it's very possible that Bobby's had been recorded first, and held off as being a single release, finally making it out in 1967.

If you dig this record, go out and find a copy or six of it, send emails to Universal music and demand that they finally put it out on cd, and if it ever gets a legitimate reissue, go pick up a copy of whatever it appears on, and buy copies for all of your friends. This one is too good to pass up. If you dig this tune as much as I do, you may find yourself playing it over and over many times (which is not really all that good for a polystyrene 45...).

Not to be confused with the Mersey Beats song of the same name

How about this for a rarity. A U.K. label of Cadet's WOMAN IN THE WINDOW

BOBBY HEBB  ~  SOME KIND OF MAGIC  ~  c/w  Good Good Lovin'

Philips 6051 025

RRPG Grading System  :  Very Good ++

Collector's Opinion        :  Very good ++    (  a few faint hairlines either side and a light skatemark on the flip,

but plays very well throughout, and very little detraction from sound quality )

Labels both sides are perfect.
