I’M SO THANKFUL

I’m So Thankful was released in September 1965 and reached #12 on the R&B charts. But it was still no pop crossover, as had happened with I’m Blue and Peaches 'N’ Cream, despite appearances by Robbie, Jessie and Venetta on tv shows including „Shindig,“ „Hullahalloo“ and „Shebang“. Like Peaches 'N’ Cream, it features Jessie Smith on the lead vocals. The version on the album Soul The Hits is a different mix with a few extra backing vocals. The flip „Don't Feel Sorry For Me“ is a funked up cover of the old Jimmy Beasley hit issued in 1956.
