His rendition of Human -- my favorite Chuck Jackson song -- is extremely impressive.

George Smith -- Don't Find Me Guilty
Here's a man with as common a name as there could be: Smith, George Smith. But what a surprise it was hearing his absolutely uncommon voice. Unfortunately, I don't know anything (as I often do) about him or his career. All I can say is that the album from which the track is was released in 1984 for BoJo Records. I found it on one of my blog excursions a while ago, and I think George Smith deserves a little attention.

Hi Inge,
Coming to the rescue.
George Smith was lead singer for Ray Richardson's edition # 6 of the new 'INK SPOTS' (including Ray Richardson;Matt McKinney,Al Williams)

Billboard August 14,1965
POP SPOTLIGHT
"GEORGE SMITH - I'VE HAD IT' (TURNTABLE TT-713) 19??
Dramatic soulful performance serves as an exciting debut of both the artist and the label that should get both of them on the chart.

Thank you once more! I was quite sure you were the right person to ask ...
I was so happy to come across your page. I've known George for many years. The song Human was originally sung by Tommy Hunt. I remember George singing Human at the Apollo and bringing the house down. Carolyn Bellinger Robinson
