Regarded as the epitome of Northern Soul by many aficionados, 'I'm Gone', by Detroit's Eddie Parker, captures the adrenalin and anger of a busted relationship and he tells of his determination to start again - elsewhere. The pulsating rhythm matches that anger and producer Jack Ashford, one of Motown's key Funk Brothers, utilises his percussive know- how to produce such a vital track.
The flip 'Crying Clown' is musically and thematically miles away - with heartbreak and sorrow to the fore over a beautiful ballad backing. These are two of the greatest soul recordings from the 1960s.
