Format:Audio CD
Darrell Banks was born in mid Ohio but made his name recording and singing material originating out of Detroit. This album contains most of his best work including that soul icon "Open The Door To Your Heart" Northern Soul fans will appreciate "Somebody, Somewhere Needs You" "Our Love Is In The Pocket" and "Angel Baby". Dying tragically at an early age he is still revered in the UK, this CD is a fitting tribute to Darrells contribution to soul music.

FABULOUS!!!
15 Sep 2002
Format:Audio CD
I originally bought this album on account of the wonderful song: 'Open The Door To Your Heart.'
I didn't expect too much. I've grown used to being disappointed by a lot of these mid-sixties soul albums. Usually they are full of weak covers of hit songs of the era. You're lucky if you find a couple of good tracks.
BUT...I started to play this & slowly, one by one, these songs grabbed me.
His voice is SENSATIONAL! A cross between Levi Stubbs & Otis Redding & better than both of them. I kid you not. A crisp, cool, confident & powerful voice. Jazzy & soulful at the same time.
I've hardly heard any of these songs covered by anyone else.
I've been groovin' & movin' & singin' along ever since I got it. So will you, if you love '60's soul...DON'T HESITATE buying this.
(I consider this one of my major discoveries of recent times).

Darrell Banks
5 Sep 2009
Format:Audio CD
Darrell had raw soul vocal ability. I often wonder how far he would have gone, how his career would have went, had he not met an untimely death. I also have this album in the original LP form. anyone liking Pickett, JB, etc., should have this in their collection.
