Latimore “Let’s Straighten It Out”

LATIMORE
“Let’s Straighten It Out”

“Moody, almost ominous chords and a beat that builds in intensity provide the strong underpinning to an almost excruciatingly straight-forward lyric about a bedroom misunderstanding.

Benny Latimore delivers the vocal with soulful desperation and plays a lot of the multi-instrumental backing. This is he biggest single out of TK Productions since they broke forth from Hialeah, Fla, with George McCrae’s “Rock Your Baby” this summer.

Latimore was backup singer-pianist in the mid-60’s for Steve Alaimo, who is now TK’s A&R director and Latimore’s producer. Latimore’s first album established him as a soul comer and “Straighten” is from his second, “More More More Latimore.” He’s managed by TK and booked by their Teen-Age Dances division.”
