I'll Fly To Your Open Arms / Did She Do It To You
āIāll Fly To Your Open Armsā is a terrific, early 70s soul song written by George Rountree and Jack Ashford. Jack eventually cut it on himself for his āHotel Sheetsā LP in 1977. Prior to that he recorded two versions, one the Magnificents which we put out as a 100 Club anniversary single in 2017 and this version by the Family Brick which features both male and female vocalists and has never been on a single until now. When Jack recorded the song for his own LP he added some sensual backing vocals, whereas this take is more mainstream soul.
From around 1971, when Ray Gant recorded his version of āI Need A True Loveā on Jay Walking, we have a very different lyrical version of the song as āDid She Do It To Youā with a shared, but unknown, female vocal. The alternate recording sounds quite different to the original and will please Detroit soul buffs.
