With the release year of The Story Of My Life a complete mystery, soul sister Betty Bibbs' b-side promises to be our most obscure track yet. Based on earlier releases in '65 and '68, however, we can presume that the song was likely recorded in the late '60s or early '70s. Don't be misled by the Motown label on the record though - Bibbs hails from the deep south and, as a result, is able to inject a gospel quality into her music quite organically. Backed by a charming instrumental and a powerful choir, here she compellingly delivers a desperate but ultimately hopeful lament over her tumultuous romantic life.
