Sebastian Williams – Get Your Point Over / I Don’t Care What Mama Said 45 (Deptford Northern Soul Club) 7″

Originally released on the Ovide label from Houston, Texas, in 1970 and currently going for around £175 if you can find a copy.

‘Get Your Point Over’ is a brass-led funky dancer that beautifully compliments Williams’ soulful vocal style, while the flipside ​‘I Don’t Care What Mama Said (Baby I Need You)’ is a slower groove that lets that vocal really soar; arriving complete with a groovy psychedelic guitar break before Williams testifies to his lady amid some punchy brass stabs.

Two stellar tunes from Sebastian Williams (AKA Roger Williams of no-hit wonders The Quarter Notes) whose solo recording career amounted to just three 45s, all five years apart, along with a couple of releases as Sebastian And The House Rockers and finally, in 1975 just Sebastian.

Vocally, imagine vintage Tavares lead singer Chubby Tavares at his gritty best with a funky brass section in a soulful Harold Melvin And The Blue Notes-styled blast.
