BOBBY McCLURE "The Peak Of Love"

Bobby McClure (April 21, 1942, Chicago, Illinois – November 13, 1992, Los Angeles, California) was an American soul singer. McClure was raised in St. Louis and sang in church and gospel groups in his youth. He sang with The Soul Stirrers (then led by Sam Cooke) in the 1950s, and moved into secular music soon after, singing with Bobby & the Vocals, Big Daddy Jenkins, and Oliver Sain. McClure, who recorded for Checker, a subsidiary of Chess Records, scored two hit singles in the U.S. in 1965, and thereafter helped launch the careers of Little Milton and Fontella Bass; during this time he also played with Otis Clay and Shirley Brown. Perhaps his most powerful record is "Peak of Love," a soul hit that barely scraped the pop charts in late 1966.
McClure moved on from music in the 1970s, working in an Illinois jail as a corrections officer, though he recorded some singles in the 1980s.[1] McClure suffered a brain aneurysm in 1992, and died of complications from a stroke soon after.trax:

Hi, nice postings, b ut it's a drag to get hold of one item. Either you have to pay one, two or more uploading firms or you have to wait for hours to get it for free....
So, when i see megaupload I jump to the next CD and see the same.
Leaves me yelling at the moon :-(
Cheers
Bernhard

@Bernhard -

Have you been living under a rock?

And "having to wait for hours" to "get it for free".. well, you have heard about the world's smallest violin, right?
