Josephine Taylor & Kyrystal Generation - Is It Worth A Chance / Satisfied
| Release Date | 29/07/2022 |
| Format | 7" |
| Label | Deptford Northern Soul Club |
| Catalogue Number | DNSCR030 |
Two tracks from the short-lived Twinight label from Chicago that peaked in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, their biggest star being the super soulful Syl Johnson
Featuring the flipside of Josephine Taylor’s 1969 single ‘I’ve Made Up My Mind’, original copies of which go for anything between £30 and £100 these days
A brass peppered funker with a driving bass line behind Josephine’s strutting vocal, it was the climax of her short career that started with three 45s for the Mar-V-Lus label
Cut with Krystal Generation’s 1970 side ‘Satisfied’, the B-side of their ‘Is It Meant To Be’ that goes for around £75 if you can find a copy
A female four-piece from Chicago featuring Darlene Arnold who recorded several sides in her own right as well as half a dozen with Krystal Generation who also released a couple of singles on Gene Chandler’s Mister Chand label
‘Satisfied’ revolves around Darlene’s lead vocal, some glorious harmonies and some sassy Stax-like horns.
Slightly slower paced than Josephine Taylor’s cut, more soulful but just as funky.
