JIMMY HAD A SINGLE ON TASK (Atlanta). "Don't let my love(be in vain). 1978.
Prod: Bill Wright
Arr: Al Gardner

This guy has a very slight similarity to Otis Redding but on the opening phrase he slurs a couple of words.

Anymore info on this dude? Is the arranger the same Al Gardner who if I'm not mistaken did some work in Detroit. I recall a single by Jimmy Coleman on Sir-rah.
