Lucky Clark - So Sick / Two Kind Of People

Year Released: 1975
Genre: Soul / Funk / Crossover

Description:
A rare and highly sought-after modern soul 45, “So Sick” by Lucky Clark (issued on Le Mans Records) captures the bittersweet heart of 1970s crossover soul. The A-side is a polished, midtempo groove marked by Clark’s plaintive vocals, tight rhythm guitar, and shimmering strings — a perfect mix of heartbreak and dancefloor elegance. The flip, “Two Kind of People,” leans funkier, with driving bass and socially aware lyrics.

“So Sick” has been championed by Northern and Modern Soul DJs — particularly on the UK rare-groove circuit. Its production style, with clean drum patterns and silky basslines, aligns closely with the textures later sampled by producers like Pete Rock and Hi-Tek. Original pressings are prized collector’s items due to their low initial run and enduring dancefloor appeal.
