Rufus Lumley - I'm Standing

I’m Standing -1966

This fantastic 45 was released by Rufus Lumley. This is one we missed in 1966. In our defence, in that year there was just too many great artists and records blasting onto our scene.

Maybe we weren’t interested because he was a white-sounding artist? And, of course, he was white. At one time he joined the U.S air force. He also used sing in a restaurant, accompanying himself on the organ. Later in life he quit the singing career and disappeared into obscurity.

The next Soul scene, however, did find it and it gains position 221 in the all time Top 500 Northern Soul recordings as far as Kev Roberts is concerned.
