New Copy

Genre: Funk / Soul

1. Try Love
2. That Boy Of Mine

Try love was originally recorded by Norma Jenkins and pitched to Motown who passed on the track (this version only survives on acetate).

.
Master of the girl group Herb Bernstein picked up the track and recorded the version you hear on this 45 which for whatever reason failed to make a dent until it was picked up first by the Belgian Popcorn scene and later the Northern scene, demand far outstripped supply and this rare 45 became very expensive. A haunting, odd and beautiful record to this day the members of The Sparkles remain a mystery.
