Though Spencer Wiggins did not make the R&B charts until his Fame 45 'Double Lovin' in 1970, it is his eight Goldwax singles, released in the latter half of the 60s, for which he is rightly famous among soul fans. They epitomise Memphis soul, veering from deep melancholic ballads to raucous uptempo groovers. Wiggins' fans dig every aspect of his music; his voice is ideal for the southern soul sound. That genre is close to the blues and 'Lover's Crime', his first 45 on the Bandstand subsidiary, was an early Isaac Hayes composition of that ilk. 'Sweet Sixteen', which was unreleased until 1977, is a full-on blues, but presumably not issued by Goldwax as they wanted to keep Spencer known as a soul singer, even though he excels on the number. Goldwax's strong country influence is apparent on 'I Never Loved A Woman (The Way I Love You)' which certainly rivals Aretha's breakthrough single from a couple of years previously. 'Once In A While (Is Better Than Never At All)', written by ex-country singer and Goldwax boss Quinton Claunch and George Jackson's 'Old Friend' are also in the country bag. The dramatic ballad 'Uptight Good Woman' was penned by Dan Penn, Spooner Oldham and Jimmy Johnson and is probably Wiggins' best-known recording; it is a highlight of his live performances. Penn and Oldham also provided 'Take Me Just As I Am', another stand-out track. 'He's Too Old' and 'I'm A Poor Man's Son' are vibrant, warm-hearted numbers taken at a jaunty pace, still very much southern soul; 'Lonely Man' is the only song which hints at Detroit's influence and has consequently cost Wiggins' 45 collectors appreciably more than the norm. Wiggins' career suffered by being in the shadows of James Carr at Goldwax and that may have been the reason why Claunch, a very fair-minded man, let this superb singer move to nearby Fame, along with some Goldwax tracks they had already cut on him in those studios. He also had artistic success at Sounds of Memphis in 1973; unissued tracks from there as well as Goldwax have strengthened his reputation. He is primarily a preacher now but his 2010 appearance at the Cleethorpes rare soul weekender demonstrated he is still a great performer and he recently completed a successful two-date visit to London and Manchester with his brother, manager and fellow singer Percy.

Excellent Suit for the Money. Great, rich details.
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
This is a stunning piece of clothing. The material for the vests and pants are so luxurious and make it look like you spent a lot of money. Great versatility and thick material of great quality. The material is made of a rich fabric that feels subtle and gentle, but with the patterns showing well. It fits well and allows for movement. Whether you are looking for a wedding suit, or something to wear to a gala or bow-tie event, this is it.

Buy the suit. Be sure to measure!
Size: Large, Color: Red, Size: Large, Color: Red
Suit looks better than the photo in person. The suit is also made well. Great fabric and pattern! My son is 6'1 and weighs around 135-140 pounds. I ordered a size large for him so the pants would be long enough. The pants were a little big but it was nothing a belt could not fix. The jacket and vest fit well too. The item also arrived on time. ***Suit runs small BUT if you take out time to do the measurements you will get the correct size.***

Fits like a glove, looks like a million!
Size: Small, Color: Purple
Bought this as a gift for him and very impressed. Looks like a million dollars, fit true to size, looks tailored not cheap. Fabric is quality, stitching is done well and the pants have a nice hidden elastic extender that helps if he goes up or down a few pounds. Very impressed!
