J.J. Barnes - Sara Smile (1977/2022) [Official Digital Download]

J. J. Barnes recorded several singles, starting in 1960. His early releases including “Just One More Time” and “Please Let Me In”, on the record labels Mickay and Ric-Tic, had relatively little success, but were subsequently picked up as Northern soul favorites in the UK. He was later signed to Motown Records, where he contributed as a songwriter but did not have any recordings released as a singer. Some of his Motown material has subsequently been released on the A Cellarful of Motown! compilation album series.

His biggest hit single came in 1967 with “Baby Please Come Back Home” on the Groovesville label, which, like many of his records, he co-wrote. The song reached No. 9 on the US Billboard R&B chart. However, subsequent singles on a variety of labels, including covers of “Black Ivory” on Today/Perception Records, failed to repeat the success.
