Release.Info :
I've Been Here All the Time & If Loving You Is Wrong I Don't Want To Be Right
(CDKEND 315; 21 tracks, 77 min., liners by Tony Rounce) pairs Luther's first two
albums, and especially the latter one I rate as one of the best albums in the
history of soul music.
The first album had many highlights, too. It kicks off with Ain't That Loving
You (for More Reasons than One). Luther: It was recorded by Johnnie Taylor,
and then I recorded it, because they had messed up the bass line in the track.
Johnny Baylor brought it to me and asked me could I do anything with it. So I
heard it, I liked the lyrics to it, recorded the song and it turned into a hit÷
(# 6-soul / # 45-pop).
Sam Cooke recorded originally You Were Made for Me for Keen Records in 1958, but
Luther's version is a half-heavy, rolling mid-pacer. Luther: I chose it,
because it was such an intimate song.÷ It was one of Luther's favourites out of
his own recordings, alongside If Loving You Is Wrong and To the Other Man.
Be Good to Me Baby, a heavy and hypnotic mid-pacer, was produced by Johnny
Baylor and Willie Hall. Luther: Willie was a good drummer. The way Willie was
hired was that the original drummer had a little too much to drink and fell off
the stage, so Willie Hall got up and took his place, and he just kept on
playing.÷
Other gems on the album include the mid-tempo Oh Baby, You Can Depend on Me, a
slowly swaying ballad called Since You Don't Want Me and the haunting Missing
You. Isaac Hayes wanted to cut I'll Love You until the End first, but he was
persuaded to give Luther the first shot. Pity for the Lonely is a Drifters type
of a melodic and poppy ditty, which Little Dooley had cut originally (KoKo 102),
whereas To the Other Man is a melodramatic, slow song.
(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Want to Be Right is an all-time soul classic
and Luther's signature song (# 1-soul, # 3-pop). Luther: I was in the room
with Isaac and David Porter and I heard this demo, and it was about a woman. I
decided to change it and put it on a man, and they liked it. I had my family √
my sister and brothers √ do the musical arrangements. Then I went to Muscle
Shoals, they gave me the perfect arrangement and I recorded it. It took less
than half an hour.÷ Homer Banks, Raymond Jackson and Carl Hampton wrote the
song, Homer did the demo and the Emotions cut it first, but they thought it was
too risquT for their image. Veda Brown tried it next, but the result was not
satisfactory. Interestingly, both Don Davis and Isaac Hayes turned the song
down. Randy Stewart: Luther really produced the song on himself in Muscle
Shoals, Alabama, but because of Johnny Baylor owning the company his name went
down there as a producer. But Luther and Pete Carr, the guitar player in Muscle
Shoals, did all the work.÷
The hit is followed by two superb singles, an enchanting mid-tempo song called
I'll be Your Shelter (in Time of Storm) and a melancholy and beautiful ballad
named Always. Tommy Tate had cut both the pleading Dying and Crying and the
mid-tempo Help Me Love first. I'm Trying to Sing a Message to You is another
great ballad from the trio of Banks-Hampton-Jackson. Luther: Al Bell and Homer
Banks put the track down originally, but we changed the lyrics around a little.÷
The driving I Remember was again cut by Tommy Tate first, and finally a slowie
called Love Ain't Gonna Run Me Away was picked up for the last single release
off the album. The rest two albums (Let's Steal Away to the Hideaway and Do You
Love somebody) are still in the pipeline.
