What Do You Want Me To Do
Lou Courtney
7″ Single, 1973
Rags/Ragmar
A friend was kind enough to store his vinyl well-cared-for vinyl collection at my apartment a couple weeks ago, including the stacks and stacks of 45s in the picture below. I don’t recognize so many of them, it’s pretty exciting.
This is the first post of what may be many as I slowly work my way through them. The posts will probably be a little shorter as I’ll know absolutely nothing about a fair amount of the artists.
Case in point, Lou Courtney and Ragmar Music Corp., nice to meet ya. You’ve got a little Southside Movement meets The New Birth thing going on and I like your style. (He apparently has a bit of a catalog but it’s new to me.)

Songs are available for two weeks.

I only have Lou Courtney’s Epic album I’m In Need Of Love and one of the 7″ singles from the album (don’t ask me which one). But that was from like 74. Never knew of this one. Looks like you got a treasure trove on your hands, my friend.
