BUDDY ACE
It's Gonna Be Me (1966)
When Buddy Ace died a few years ago, it was amusing to see that all these years later newspapers still gave space to repeat the myth that Buddy Ace was the child of the late, great Johnny Ace.
If you do the math, it could have been true, but only if Johnny had sired Buddy when he was a mere 8 years old. Perhaps Duke Records needed some new excitement around the label when Buddy Ace signed him in 1955. He joined a label that already had Bobby Bland and Junior Parker.
He quickly proved to be a rhythm & blues balladeer whose vocal style was lined with gospel and blues strains. Though he didn't rack up many hit records, he remained with Duke some fifteen years. Ace moved to Los Angeles in 1959 and did some recording for Specialty Records, but returned to Houston two years later to Duke, where he recorded some of his best known material.
This single of "Nothing in the World Can Hurt Me (Except You)" was released in 1966 and made it to number 25 on the R&B charts. It's flipped with a song that's become a bit of a cult favorite over in the Northern Soul scene, the song "It's Gonna Be Me."
