Her recordings for the Sansu record label are highly sought after by fans of both Northern and Deep Soul.<\/p>\n<p>In 1964, Betty Harris switched record labels from Jubilee to Sansu, a New Orleans label, where she was introduced to and produced by the legendary New Orleans producer Allen Toussaint. Her recordings with Sansu produced 20 singles. Of those, only &#8220;Nearer to You&#8221; charted (Billboard Hot 100 # 85), an atmospheric, dramatic soul ballad, now considered one of the milestones of deep soul. However, practically all of her recordings for Sansu featuring Allen Toussaint&#8217;s raw yet sophisticated Southern Soul arrangements are considered prime specimens of the classic soul era. Notable recordings include &#8220;I&#8217;m Evil Tonight&#8221;; \u201cShow It\u201d; &#8220;I Don&#8217;t Want To Hear It&#8221; and &#8220;Twelve Red Roses&#8221;, favored among Northern Soul fans, plus &#8220;Can&#8217;t Last Much Longer&#8221; and &#8220;What&#8217;d I Do Wrong&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>In 1969 her Sansu recordings were compiled into a U.K. album\u2014Soul Perfection\u2014now highly prized around the world and reissued here in its original form for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>SIDE A<\/p>\n<p>Ride Your Pony<br \/>\nWhat A Sad Feeling<br \/>\nBad Luck<br \/>\nI&#8217;m Gonna Git Ya<br \/>\nShow It<br \/>\nCan&#8217;t Last Much Longer<br \/>\nI Don&#8217;t Wanna Hear It<br \/>\nSometime<\/p>\n<p>SIDE B<\/p>\n<p>Mean Man<br \/>\nLonely Hearts<br \/>\nHook Line &#8216;N&#8217; Sinker<br \/>\nWhat&#8217;d I Do Wrong<br \/>\nTrouble With My Lover<br \/>\nNearer To You<br \/>\nI&#8217;m Evil Tonight<br \/>\n12 Red Roses<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":84247,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[107,132],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-84311","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-new","7":"product_cat-soul-funk-disco-rnb-en","8":"pa_formaatti-lp-en","9":"pa_kaytetty-uusi-new","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"taxable","14":"shipping-taxable","15":"purchasable","16":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/freshgarbage.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/84311","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/freshgarbage.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/freshgarbage.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freshgarbage.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/84247"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/freshgarbage.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=84311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freshgarbage.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=84311"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freshgarbage.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=84311"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freshgarbage.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=84311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
