The Devastator b/w I Won't Stop To Cry

Intended as an introduction to Stormy, the man, the myth, the legend, “The Devastator” is a boastful proto-funk number accented wonderfully by the thoroughbred backing musicians. “I Won’t Stop To Cry” has been a northern soul fave since back in the Wigan days. While the single failed to “devastate,” John Colley hit pay dirt a few months later co-writing the novelty cash-in hit “Psychedelic Soul” by Saxie Russell for the Thomas label.
