J.J. Barnes - You Can Bet Your Love

"You Can Bet Your Love" was the result of J.J. and I wanting to write something a little more funky than the usual Motorcity sound. J.J. started out on several small Detroit labels before being picked up by Scepter. He then got his career into full swing, by the mid Sixties. I first met J.J. Barnes in 1971 when my first business venture with my Father, was to put him on at Blackpool Mecca. I had written an article about him when I was fifteen for Collectors Soul Magazine called "J.J. Barnes The Uncrowned King Of Soul" Eighteen years later he signed to Motorcity and recorded about twenty five songs, this being one of the stand out ones, and released on the CD, "The Very Best Of J.J. Barnes"
