12 Red Roses, By Betty Harris

Well I suppose it's official, YouTube has everything.

I thought that this was one of the most obscure songs in my own collection, I have it on a Charly Records Sampler.  Charly was an English label that licensed soul records for that market only, my copy is an import to the USA. Allen Toussaint was involved, evidently. 

But who knows, maybe it's a commonplace, maybe it only seemed obscure to me.  Maybe I was just flattering myself.  That has been known to happen.  I'm not an expert in anything.  I'm a generalist, generally in the dark, generally a bit confused.  I don't mind.  It allows for a more untrammeled experience of wonder.
