The career of Frederick Shorty Long has not been well served in the CD age. Apart from an Essential Collection on the Spectrum label in 2000 (conspicuous for its omission of what many of his fans regard as their favourite track, ‘Chantilly Lace’) his work has appeared only on a number of various artist compilations. Shorty was to have one more single released, before he died in a tragic boating accident on 29 June 1969.

For a Motown artist who had a Top Ten pop hit, Shorty Long has been surprisingly unrepresented by single-artist compilations. He and co-writer Sylvia Moy also strike an uncommonly serious mood on "I Had a Dream," which had too many unpredictable melodic twists to reach the hit parade, but is intriguing for its non-formulaic structure, solemn operatic quality, and lyrical outlook obviously influenced by the legacy of then-recently assassinated Martin Luther King, Jr. This might be a release for Motown fanatics, but for that audience, it's certainly a good one, with annotation just as complete as the track selection.
