Clyde McPhatter was the one of the most influence r&b singers of the 1950s. For more than a decade, he was the lead voice on some of the period’s most iconic records - “Sixty Minute Man” by Billy Ward & The Dominoes (1950), “Money Honey” by the Drifters (1954) and his biggest solo hit “A Lover’s Question” (1958) - and his smoother, more sophisticated approach lead directly to the soul music of the 1950s.

His 1962 hit “Lover Please” showed that he had the skills to continue to thrive as the musical landscape changed. Addictively catchy with its handclaps and its slinky piano, it showed he could still beat Motown at its own game given the right song (in this case provided by a young rock ’n roll performer Billy Swan).

Unfortunately “Lover Please” was in many ways the end of line for McPhatter. It would be his last top 10 hit and his career would have a steep decline after this. Alcoholism and depression were increasingly controlling his life and would contribute to his tragically early death in 1972 at the age of 39.

Asking me to forget

is asking me to pretend

that the sun does not exist.

Lover, please - just hear this:

all I do is sit and reminisce 

while the moon cries back to me

and offers a kiss.
