Apparently Curtis Mayfield wrote "Girls Are Out to Get You," a catchy gem sung by The Fascinations. It sounds like a Curtis jam, perhaps with arrangements by Pate. The funky brief sax, pronounced drums, syncopated rhythms, and and lyrical content all shout Mayfield. Now I have to listen to more Mayfield-penned jams by The Fascinations and other groups.
"Hold On" is another instance of a Mayfield song for The Fascinations, which is soul more of the gospel and blues vein. That lead voice!! She can bring down the house (or the church)! It definitely sounds like a song from the second half of the 1960s with its funkiness though.
