Maureen Bailey – Takin’ My Time With You / I Want You (All For Myself) 45 (Soul Brother) 7″ Vinyl

• In demand modern soul floor filler
• Original worth £500

Both these songs are arranged by Gene Page from the heyday of his work in the 70s with Barry White. Lushly orchestrated, “Takin’ My Time With You” has the additional benefit of being an awesome ‘modern soul’ dance record, a track largely undiscovered until recently and now heavily in demand. The original 7” released in 1976 is impossible to find and has exchanged hands for £500. Maureen Bailey is from and was contracated as a songwriter with Motown. She worked with artists including Thelma Houston, 5th Dimension, Jermaine Jackson and Syreeta. She recorded three singles as a solo artist.
