Amazing sweet soul single recorded by bobby reed in 1970. I don't have much information about B. Reed, but I know that the track "the time is right for love" is in my Soul Top 50. I've tryed to list all his singles but If you know further information about him, please let me know.
Bobby was a popular soul singer out of Washington. In 1966, he worked with the producer "Clay Roberta" for the rare shrine label where he recorded a few Northern Soul tunes such as caldonia brown / baby don't leave me . These songs were unreleased at that time and a few decade later, "Goldmine Soul Supply" (UK) issued a single including the both soul tunes.
As "Bobby Reed "and "Clay Roberta" couldn't issued on "Shrine", "Clay" founded his own label "Clay Town" and recorded a single you are / i'm not coming back.
From 1968, Bobby Reed began to work with the great Washington arranger, producer, singer, ... "Van Mc Coy" on the loma label where they released the single i'll find a way / i wanna love you so bad. Don't miss 'I'll find a way".
2 years later, when "Van Mc Coy" joined the bell label, Bobby recorded this single including "the time is right for love". Unfortunatly, the original copy is very rare but luckily the UK label "Expansion" has had the good idea to re-issued this single in 2003. Besides, for information, this track has been sampled by "Smif N Wessun" on "Crystal Stair".
