Tyrone Davis - I Just Can't Keep On Going (2016) [Hi-Res]

He scored numerous R&B hits in the late sixties and early seventies, among them "Can I Change My Mind," "Turn Back The Hands Of Time," "Turning Point," and "I Wish It Was Me."

Davis' early hits were followed by a fallow period--the eighties being the "the dark ages" for most R&B acts. But Davis continued to issue albums, amassing a catalog equaled only by Johnnie Taylor in Southern Soul annals.

Never one to discriminate a great deal about the material he put out, Davis made his share of ill-conceived covers, but they were always more than compensated for by the sheer number and clockwork consistency of the treasures: "Where Are You, Lady," "Sugar Daddy," "Tip Tow Through The Bedroom," "Banging The Headboard," right up to 2004's "Try My Love" (to name an arbitrary sampling spanning his last decade).
