There has been a lot of things written about that 6 seconds 4sure. Interesting find Dude.

I have a 45 of Color Him Father that I bought back in the early 70's but mine is not an original issue. My copy has Love Of The Common People on the flip side. I do have 3 copies of the Winstons album though. That album is a little hard to find and a little pricey sometimes. I had a poor copy for years. Last summer I got a hair in my butt to look for a better copy. When one appeared on ebay, it was in England. I bought and before it arrived another one became available here in the US. I bought it too just in case the one in England got damaged or was not as described. I wound up with both copies and both are nice. I'm probably one of a very few people that have 3 copies of that album.

I ripped my poor copy a year or two (three?) ago. One of these days I'll rip my better copies. I may buy a large format scanner to make it easier to scan the covers. Scanning covers on a standard size scanner is a pain in the butt.

I saw a promo copy in Argentina last year. I wish I had bought it too just for the heck of it. The label was different but the cover art was the same. Anyhooooo, that's it from here.

Here is a youtube of the track.

I like 60s R&B and I really like the entire album.

I guess that's why I have 3 copies and you don't.
