"Back On My Feet Again" was the group's second UK 45 and the followup to their #1 smash "Baby, Now That I Found You." It begins with a similar hook as their debut but quickly finds it's own feet with original singer Clem Curtis shining brightly. This is a brilliant, catchy number that is easily as good as their first 45. Special note to organist Tony Gomez for his Mathew Fisher style runs. For you chart watchers it peaked at #18 in the UK, #49 in the U.S.A.
The flipside "I Can Take Or Leave Your Loving" is a Tamla/Motown flavored tune that is also worth a spin. This 45 can be found easily and cheaply, making it all the more attractive to the newcomer.
