November 2020 is here already. That means we have one more month before the new year. This time of year always seems to put people in a certain mood. It gets dark much earlier, meaning the days are shorter and the nights are longer, and the weather is getting cooler putting a chill in the air. This often leads to people having more time to themselves, leading to some self-reflection. This will be a common theme throughout this month’s list of 45s.
Jimmy Radcliffe: Moment of Weakness / Through A Long and Sleepless Night
Label: Musicor 1033. Released 1963.
Label Owner: A division of Talmadge Productions. 1960-1978.
A Side: Moment of Weakness
B Side: Through A Long and Sleepless Night
No one is perfect and neither is Jimmy Radcliffe as he sings about a moment of weakness and unfaithfulness. The track almost makes you feel like you are in the room with him listening to his confession. Flip the 45 over, and you’ll forgive Jimmy for his sins and forget about any mistakes he may have made in his previous life as he serenades you with “Through A Long and Sleepless Night”. This might be the bedtime lullaby I needed in my life all this time.
