Source Material: Carl Hall – “My Baby’s So Good”

Carl Hall was a gospel and a soul singer from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania who sang in the ’60s and the ’70s.  In high school, Hall started singing in church.  Shortly after high school, he was recruited by an Ohio-based gospel group called The Raymond Rasberry Singers.  Hall became the lead singer, but he didn’t stay for long, he left the group to join the army.   In 1962, fresh out of the army, Hall started making secular music.

In 1964, Hall signed a record deal with Mercury Records.  One of his producers at Mercury Records was Quincy Jones.  “My Baby’s So Good” was a single that Quincy Jones co-produced with singer/songwriter Gene Redd.  Unfortunately, “My Baby’s So Good” didn’t sell very well. In fact, most of the music that Hall made on Mercury Records didn’t make much of a commercial impact.  This trend followed Hall well into the latter parts of his career, but it’s sad because he was clearly talented.
