 THE PRECISIONS - I DO, DON'T YOU (SUPER RARE NORTHERN SOUL) As a celebration of this weeks Hitsville Soul weekender thought would dedicate this track to all the soulies getting on the plane for Almeria Spain where we gonna have a great time listening to Soul tunes of the highest calibre and soaking up the sun.....see you there guys and girls The Precisions were a vocal group formed by Arthur Ashford, Michael Morgan and Dennis Gilmore on the Motor Citys west side, a neighborhood mecca for much of the citys R&B talent as well as the site of its densest aggregation of recording studios. With a few obscure mid-60s singles on the prolific Detroit soul and R&B label D-Town already to their name, the Precisions would go on to add young college student Billy Prince as a lead vocalist in 1967. This selection, the debut release of the reconfigured group, would be the first of five Precisions records on Drew Records, a label whose discography, as it turns out, only included other Precisions records. Such Misery follows faithfully in that time-honored soul music tradition of rallying cries for the broken-hearted. Nothing new there. Such Misery is quite striking, however, for its drastic changes in feeling and tempo, its thudding drums and bass the colossal Yang to the celestial Yin of its vibraphone and graceful harmonies. Two Precisions follow-ups, Why Girl and If This Is Love (Id Rather Be Lonely), would enjoy moderate success on the R&B charts. A move in 1969 to the nationally distributed Atco Records (part of the Atlantic Records empire) proved fruitless, though. The Precisions would fold shortly thereafter, theirs a not-atypical story of line-up changes, mismanagement and general vulnerability to an industry where singing talent was seen as the most dispensable part of the equation. The Precisions reunited in the United Kingdom for 2006s Prestatyn Weekender, performing, among other selections, Such Misery, Why Girl and If This Is Love (Id Rather Be Lonely).
