Usually ships in 3-6 business days

Finding a new Eddie Hill recording from 1969 was quite a thrill and on hearing the beautiful mid-tempo groove, we included it on both our Westbound Northern Soul and Masterpieces Of Modern Soul Vol 3 CDs in 2010. Since then, demand for 'I Am So Thankful' has risen and we can now issue it as a single. It was originally scheduled to be Westbound 151 in the USA but that spot was claimed by Emanuel Lasky's 'Never My Love'. Eddie now has a Kent release to go with his Detroit waxings on Thelma, Ge-Ge and M-S. 'Long Live The King' was an LP track from the Detroit Emeralds' acclaimed debut album Do Me Right. It didn't get a US 45 release but did sneak out on a Various Artists UK DJ-promo EP in 1973 for then-current Phonogram releases. This is the first time this superb and popular dance track it has been commercially available as a single. I Am So Thankful – Eddie Hill, Long Live The King – Detroit Emeralds
