Last year, Monophonics bandleader Kelly Finnigan released his second solo album A Lover Was Born, a stellar study in psychedelic soul extending cleanly from the classic Monophonics sound. A song that didn’t make it onto the album was “Keep Me In Mind,” a smooth soul bop featuring Chicago soul legend Renaldo Domino.
While most of the Monophonics and Finnigan’s solo discographies have a prominent neosoul sound, “Keep Me In Mind” is a cover of a 1967 tune by the New York duo Samson & Delilah and distinctly sounds like a love letter to the classic days of solid gold soul duos. The kind that may have wound-up on the soundtrack of an Olsen twins movie in the 90s.
