1963
CRY BABY * GARNET MIMMS & THE ENCHANTERS * UNITED ARTISTS 629 * USA
Recorded in May 1963 this was Garnet Mimms first recording using his own name along with The Enchanters, though in fact it was The Gospelaires: Dionne Warwick, D. D. Warwick and Estelle Brown singing back up and not Sam Bell, Zola Pearnell and Charles Boyer who were on the flip side.
The record was their biggest ever seller, it toped the R&B charts and reached number four on the Pop charts. The song is pure Soul and as such helped to determine the course of many of the Soul ballads that were to follow.
