THE HOP * DERRICK MORGAN * ISLAND 006 * UK

Laid back 'shuffle' beat on this romantic tale from Derrick Morgan, that I like, not so much for the vocals but for the sweet and prolonged saxophone break, that comes in quite early, the song must have been popular for a time as it was still being pressed up long after Island Records had moved from its original premises in Rutland Gate (see above label) through the London England reference to Cambridge Road (see blow).
