In 1970, Rozetta signed with the Moonsong/Clintone set-up. She scored R&B hits with her first two releases: ‘A Woman’s Way’ and ‘Who Are You Gonna Love (Your Woman Or Your Wife)’, both written and produced by Sam Dees. Her next four discs did not chart but contributed to a body of work of which any soul singer could be proud.
We discovered the epic ‘I’ve Come Too Far With You (To Turn Back Now)’ when researching the Clintone recordings in the 90s. ‘Mama Was a Bad Seed’, ‘You Better Keep What You Got’ and ‘For That Man Of Mine’ were released in 2007. Subsequently we found a longer version of ‘I’ve Come Too Far With You’ with an alternate vocal and ‘I Can Feel My Love Comin’ Down’ with previously unheard backing vocals and an alternate lead. The version of ‘Mama Was a Bad Seed’ here has added instrumentation, while ‘You Better Keep What You Got’ is longer, with improved audio.
Rozetta’s songs are as popular as ever among the cognoscenti. Finally her complete soul era recordings are available on one disc.
