Lighten Up Baby / All At Once (Vinyl 7") Hip Hop

Lighten Up Baby / All At Once (Vinyl 7") Hip HopTy Karim is one of the finest Los Angeles singers to have never scored a hit in her own country. Her records are rightly lauded in Europe though and we present two of the best on her producer and partners Romark label in our Repro series. Lighten Up Baby is a rare classic stomper from the heyday of Northern Soul. It was actually a one off Car A Mel release in 1966 but it was recorded as part of Kent Harris Romark set up.
