Laura Lee Women’s Love Rights
“It's Not What You Fall for, It's What You Stand For” (Hot Wax) 1971
by Wax Poetics
In the early ’70s, Buddah Records, which had previously built its reputation on an odd melange of bubble-gum pop (Tommy James & the Shondells), and experimental rock (Captain Beefheart), began to transform itself into a soul stronghold, counting Bill Withers’s Sussex, Mayfield’s Curtom, and Holland-Dozier-Holland’s Hot Wax amongst its subsidiaries. This Laura Lee track is a testament to the wisdom of that transformation.
