H-Bomb with Varetta- “Tortured Love”

In 1952 H-Bomb and Varetta Dillard recorded 2 duets. I play one of them called “Double Crossin’ Daddy” on this weeks show to be aired on 2nd September 2025, where Varetta takes the lead Vocal and H-Bomb spouts off in the background. This is the other of those duets, where H-Bomb takes the lead calling Varetta’s name repeatedly.
