Crossover R'n'B/Soul classics from 1962. Spellman was an ever-present backing singer on many of the New Orleans hits from that period. 'Fortune Teller' was like a best-kept secret amongst the early British RnB bands. It was covered on record by the Stones, the Who, Merseybeats and featured in the repertoire of many others. It was actually a B Side to 'Lipstick Traces' released in the UK on London American. Its been coupled here with another much-covered New Orleans hit of the day, by 'Mother-In-Law' man Ernie K Doe.
