EL ANTHONY - WE'VE BEEN IN LOVE TOO LONG

This is the type of song that, when I hear it, can't help but think that if it were released on a larger label it could have been massive.

This track by Gary, Indiana native El(dridge) Anthony is the type of record that creates legends; such a GREAT song and performance, and very little information available about the artist. Plus, La Cindy Records released some of the most elusive (and great) Chicago discs within their five-record discography. In addition to this track, the label also released Ernest Moseley's version of The Sheppards "Stubborn Heart", as well as the amazing single by Walter and The Admeration's (sic) that was thankfully issued by Numero in the excellent Omnibus set; originals sell for the price of a nice used Honda.

Back to today's entry: I absolutely love the dramatic sound of the record; a super arrangement, fabulous vocal and simply a great song that has a haunting feel, conveying the emotion of the lyrics, itself a theme that doesn't pop up often in song from this particular viewpoint.
