Sir Guy and the Speller Brothers Band - Let Home Cross Your Mind

Awesome deep funk 45 from Virginia by Sir Guy and the Speller Brothers Band.

Heres some info from Egon of Now-Again records:
This is a magical one-off by Clarence "Sir Guy" Barron, the late Virginia soul singer best known for his "Funky Virginia," issued twice on the Norfolk-based DPG label. "Let Home Cross Your Mind," his only offering backed by the mysterious Speller Brothers Band, owes a rhythmic and melodic debt to James Brown's Live at the Apollo II recording of "There Was a Time." But it's Barron's pained plea to a lost love — a woman who may never hear his cry to "come home" from the "mountain of misery" — which guaranteed his inclusion on this list.

The song's last 45 seconds are heavy funk, indeed, something label owner George Perkins himself must have noticed. Using this vamp — and Barron's "I need you" ad libs — as a base, Perkins paired Barron with the Raw Soul band and recorded the disco-era "I Need You Baby." Perhaps he was trying to revise history, as this later 45 carries the same catalog number as "Let Home Cross Your Mind." Luckily, a few copies of Barron's first take have surfaced, and they stake Barron's claim with a lonely Commonwealth masterpiece.
