Floyd Henley -- "Believe In Me"

When I first heard this one, I thought the singer sounded like Arthur Conley. At least a bit ... Unfortunately, there is not much info available about Floyd Henley. My go-to sources in such cases, Sir Shambling's and Discogs, didn't have much to offer.

I think it's interesting, though, that this title has been produced by Gamble and Huff and, as stated on Sir Shambling's, has to be considered a species of the Philly Sound, although it sounds a lot like a Deepie. I do agree wholeheartedly with that claim. Just listen to the instruments. Anyway, whatever category one may put this song in, it is another underappreciated artist's gift to us.

What a great voice!
