“Soul Serenade” #23 5/11/1968

Willie Mitchell was a producer at Hi Records in Memphis who occasionally made singles on his own, like this R&B Top 10 effort. In 1970 the founder of Hi suddenly died and Mitchell wound up heading the label. That could’ve been problematic, except Willie had just signed Al Green to a deal. Those two went on to successfully collaborate on some of the smoothest R&B music of the 70’s.
