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

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 ...
ReplyDeleteI 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
