The great singer with a voice that outshone soul legends collaborated with songwriter Truman Thomas in the early 70s to create this super funky gospel-flavored jam.
Mimms' version of “For Your Precious Love” is one of my all-time favorite soul songs and arguably a cut above the original. A spectacular vocal. His “Cry Baby” has always been a letdown for me, though the song itself is fantastic. I'm pretty sure it’s the way he screams, “Cry baby!” in this high screech that puts me off. Don Bryant must have heard me complaining because his version of the song is delivered just the way I wish Garnet had chosen.
