Written by Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham, the song was a smash hit, reaching the US Top 10 Pop and R\u0026amp;B Billboard charts, and was nominated for a Grammy. Thereafter, the pair recorded two albums and several singles for Bell before eventually leaving Bell in 1968..Named after their biggest hit, I'M YOUR PUPPET includes all of James And Bobby Purify's recordings during that dizzy two-year period, including both LPs, all non-album tracks and a clutch of recordings which only surfaced in 2002. Many tracks are currently unavailable on CD..Assembled by the same team behind last year's acclaimed Staple Singers box set of their Epic albums, this worthwhile double-CD set shines a welcome light on one of the classiest soul duos of the Sixties - cousins James Purify and Robert Dickey, who harked from Florida and were discovered by producer Don Schroeder..I'M YOUR PUPPET includes the pair's many other US hits, namely 'Wish You Didn't Have To Go' (#38 Pop, #27 R\u0026amp;B), 'Shake a Tail Feather' (#25 Pop, #15 R\u0026amp;B), 'I Take What I Want' (#41 Pop, #23 R\u0026amp;B) 'Let Love Come Between Us' (#23 Pop, #18 R\u0026amp;B, #51 UK), 'Do Unto Me' (#73 Pop, #38 R\u0026amp;B), 'I Can Remember' (#51 Pop, #42 R\u0026amp;B), 'Help Yourself (To All Of My Lovin')' (#94 Pop, #31 R\u0026amp;B), 'Untie Me' (#47 R\u0026amp;B)..After disbanding, James Purify worked as a solo singer before forming a new-look James \u0026amp; Bobby Purify with new singing partner Ben Moore, recording for Casablanca Records and enjoying renewed success with a re-recorded version of 'I'm Your Puppet' in 1976. The pair continued to tour well into the 1980s. While James also continued with a solo career, Bobby did likewise (with encouragement from Ray Charles) and eventually joined acclaimed gospel outfit The Five Blind Boys Of Alabama.\u003cp\u003eWish You Didn't Have To Go\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI Take What I Want\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo Many Reasons\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHello There\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKnock On Wood\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSixteen Tons\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI've Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI Don't Want To Have To Wait\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHitch Hike\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Something Is Wrong With My Baby\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI've Got Everything (I've Got You)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLet Love Come Between Us\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI'm Your Puppet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShake A Tail Feather\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou Left The Water Running\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoothe Me\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Change Is Gonna Come\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGoodness Gracious\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlame Me (Don't Blame My Heart)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI Love You (Most Of All)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou Can't Keep A Good Man Down\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou Don't Love Me\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDo Unto Me\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI Don't Know What It Is You Got\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverybody Needs Somebody\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection C\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI Can Remember\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep Pushin' Me\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI Was Born To Lose Out\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJust Like Old Times\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHelp Yourself (To All My Lovin')\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy Adorable One\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLast Piece Of Love\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Weeper\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUntie Me\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe Ain't Gonna Do Right\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe're Finally Gonna Make It\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSomebody Cares\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55136551240065,"sku":"1028460","price":24.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/5175WJbpC8L._SL1500.jpg?v=1767212917","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1028460","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
