Darondo - Didn’t I

From the compilation album entitled ‘Let My People Go’, ‘Didn’t I’ is a smooth offering of beautifully smooth soul. Accompanied by everything from silk-like organs to jazzy flutes, this track shows the talents of one of the most mysterious in the game in the early 70s.

Having opened for James Brown and lived a colorful lifestyle, Darondo records are high on the wants-lists of many collectors. Sadly about 25 years ago Darondo disappeared…
