Johnson, Hawkins, Tatum, and Durr -- "You're All I Need to Make It"
Part of the Numero Group's Eccentric Soul series, this song is classic material from the Capsoul label out of Columbus, Ohio. Nobody outside of the Columbus region is likely to have heard this before, and without Numero's efforts this song and many like it would have vanished into the utmost obscurity -- would have ceased to exist, in essence.
A stirring falsetto lead, great harmonies, classic soul styling. When I think about the minor miracle that has taken place here -- that I, a full-fledged citizen of the 21th century -- get to enjoy this song despite the historical improbability of such a thing, I am utterly awed and amazed.
