The success of Little
Stevie Wonder was obviously the springboard for Carl
Carlton's debut on Golden World.
Billed as "the
twelve year old wonder", Carl produced a storming
performance on the Savoy, Wylie and Bratton song,
"Nothin' no sweeter than love".
The flip, "I love
true love", is also significant for employing the
arrangements of the great Dale Warren. Carl
was also billed as Little Carl Carlton on Detroit's Lando
label, and on Don Robey's legendary Backbeat label, which
was based in Houston, Texas. Robey
released the action packed "Competition ain't
nothing" in 1968. In
1981 he delivered a classic 45 for 20th Century Fox, in
"She's a bad mama jama" c/w "This feelings
rated x-tra".
