Luther Ingram I’ve Been Here All the Time
“Be Good to Me Baby” (KoKo) 1971
Luther Ingram had the good fortune to sign to the Stax subsidiary KoKo just as Al Bell undertook a massive re-ordering of the label’s musical priorities. While KoKo label head Johnny Baylor is credited with production, the heavy-as-lead arrangement and pseudo-orchestral production flourishes are pure Hayes/Porter.
