A Stop Along the Way

F

FRR

Does anyone out there remember this little known song from 1968 by Timothy Carr? I don't think it had a very good sales history, but it sure was a mover. Anyone know what ever happened to the artist? I finally bought a copy of the record and can't get over why it was never a hit. So many of you folks on this site have so much background on these things that I know someone out there will know. Thank you in advance.

Carr was classified as a Northern soul artist. I know of no current information on him.

“A Stop Along The Way” / “Let's Start All Over Again” was recorded on the Hot Biscuit Company Label, (#1454). The 7” single currently sells from low $20 to high $40, depending upon condition and seller.

I hope you got a good deal on your buy, it is indeed a rare platter.
 
I was able to buy it for $5.00 plus the $3.00 postage, and I was pleased with that price. I'm not sure what a "Northern Soul Artist" is, but I can't find anything on him, or anything else he may have recorded. When WUBE in Cincinnati was on a Drake format in 1968, they played the song in their rotation for a couple of weeks and then it disappeared. I don't think WSAI, who was the powerhouse station in the city at that time, ever played it, but I'm not sure about that. Someone like Dusty Rhodes may remember, I don't know. If anyone else knows anything about this artist, I'd be glad to know about. Thanks
