The "B-Sides" - Way Back Wednesday

I get my appreciation for good R&B and Soul music from my mother.  We never had more than two (2) TVs in the house but there's was a radio of some sort in every room...including the bathroom.

Our local music store was called SoundTown & in walking distance from our house.  I remember when "When Doves Cry" was released & she sent me to buy the 45.  Imagine the shock when I saw a purple record!  I couldn't wait to play it...like it was gonna sound differently or something. LOL

She had Peaches crates & milk crates of records on top of records.  She would always play her new purchases from beginning to end - A-Side & B-Side.  There was a lot of good music on the B-sides that never got radio play & unless you (or someone you knew) owned & played the 45 or LP in it's entirety, you would never hear these songs.

I posted my all time fav B-side song yesterday - If I Could Feel That Old Feeling Again by Anita Ward.

What are some of your favorite, never got radio play B-side songs?
