Kim Weston - You Hit Me Where It Hurt Me

This song was originally recorded by Kim Weston for Motown in 1966, but was never released, so producer George Kerr cut it for Alice Clark and released it on Warner Brothers instead. I had known Kim since 1969, when I met Motown song writing legend and head of A&R, Mickey Stevenson on a plane while on vacation with my parents. Needless to say, I spent the whole journey chatting to him, and at the airport his wife, Kim Weston, met him off the plane, and then she arranged to pick me up at the hotel next day, and took me shopping all over Los Angeles, and Mickey arranged for me to go to Motown's West Coast warehouse, and buy singles for my collection at wholesale prices. Eighteen years later, my friend Henry Sellars was in touch with Kim, and brought her over for me to record - the very very first former Motown artist to start the Motorcity project.
