Genre: Funk / Soul

1. So Very Hard To Make It (Without You)
2. So Very Hard To Make It (Without You) (instrumental)

A great piece of piece of deep soul, originally released in 1974 on the obscure Music-Go-Round label out of North Carolina. It was a welcome recording for singer Paul Burton, who had spent much of his time fronting a commercial frat band. Leaving them for the Soul Aces, Burton collaborated with songwriter Willie Randolph and band leader Danny Spencer, and together they came up with this tune. The result was a moving and soulful masterpiece, coupling a sober and heartbreaking tone with a funky, syncopated underbelly that gives it a unique flavour. Made available again through Jazzman as vocal and instrumental version. Tip!
