Lesley Gore's amazing treatment of the Gamble-Huff soul song "I'll Be Standing By" has been critically acclaimed for half a century now. The song is overlooked because it was not one of Gore's big top 40 hits. However, the passion and soul she puts into her delivery is remarkable, and the song itself is geared toward that northern soul sound that Gamble and Huff were famous for. Gore's two single 45rpm ventures with Gamble & Huff were classics and should have established her as the power soul singer she could be. Indeed, looking back on her long recording career, Gore was capable of almost anything, and she was always strong, clear, and impassioned. Listen to these Gamble & Huff gems. Classic power soul.
