This Doris Duke song is sadder than a thousand dying dogs. I found it
on one of legendary British soul expert Dave Godin’s “Deep Soul
Treasures” compilations, and it’s a perfect example of the deep soul
genre. The narrative goes from bleak to bleaker, detailing the
hardships of a former millworker who turns to prostitution. The vocal
performance is an absolute killer, almost scary-authentic, and I love
how the spare instrumentation turns lush during the chorus. If you
like this, the I’m A Loser album pictured above is definitely worth
checking out.
