TAMMI TERRELL- "WHAT A GOOD MAN HE IS"

What a Good Man He Is   (William Robinson - A. Cleveland) - 2:59

This tune was one of the highlight on Terrell's uneven 1968 "Irresistible" album.  In fact, it gets my vote for the album's standout track,  It was simply irresistible (ha).  As if Terrell didn't have enough appeal, on this one she brought all of her sassy edge to the fore.  Makes you wonder if she was thinking about then-boyfriend David Ruffin ...  Motown apparently intended to release it as a single, but for some reason elected not to - perhaps it was just too sexy for the marketplace ?  Shame they didn't since it was a simply killer performance.   Always loved the organ on this one.


And for anyone who hasn't heard thus song, here's a link to a YouTube clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h630sn66iQ8
