I’ll Take Care of You

From November 1959 this is Duke 314, “I’ll Take Care of You” backed with “That’s Why” by Bobby Bland. Note that the song was written by Brook Benton. It made #2 on Billboard’s R&B chart in early 1960.

The next Duke release by Bland was “Lead Me On”, issued in March 1960. I haven’t been able to confirm that one on 78 yet.

What do you mean the last year?

Not covered in this site are children’s records (Peter Pan, Disney, etc.) that were issued on 78 rpm until the mid-1960s.  Also not covered are commercially issued 78 records that were issued into mid and late 1960s in countries outside of the USA (India, South Africa, Philippines, etc.).  Not even Canadian or British releases.

Also, I want to express my thanks to Discogs, eBay, John Tefteller, 45worlds, 45 cat, and all others for the images used on this non-commercial blog.
