Frederick Knight: Success From Out Of Left Field
John Abbey, Blues & Soul, June 1972
REGULAR READERS of B&S will already be more than aware of how we occasionally jump on a record right from when it becomes available in the States and don't let up until it either makes British success or dies trying! Just such a record is Frederick Knight's Stax release 'I've Been Lonely For So Long', currently rapidly climbing both American and British Soul charts.
