Le premier album de Darrell Banks ; " Darrell Banks Is Here ! " est édité en Amérique sur le label Atco Records 33-216 ( Mono ) / SD 33-216 ( Stereo ) [ US ] en 1967 . Avant d'enregistrer cet album , Darrell Banks avait réalisé deux singles sur le label Revilot Records en 1966 , mais ils figurent tous deux sur cet album et bien que ceux sont  deux labels différents , les titres sont identiques . J'ai quand même ajouté le single édité en Amérique sur le label Cotillion Records de 1968  ( le seul qu'il ait sorti juste avant son deuxième et dernier album en 1969 ) . D'autres LP sortiront par la suite , mais en tant que compilation , car le moindre que l'on puisse dire , c'est que Darrell Banks ne fut pas très prolifique en matière de discographie , car le pauvre n'en a pas eu le temps , vu qu'en Février 1970 , celui-ci est tué par balle , par le policier Aaron Bullock à Detroit , dans le Michigan , à la suite d'interventions de Darrell Banks dans sa liaison avec sa petite amie , Marjorie Bozeman . C'est un excellent album , surfant entre Rhythm 'n' Blues et Northern Soul , une petite merveille !

Une bien belle compilation où Northern Soul et Rhythm 'n' Blues se fondent si subtilement , que l'on ne saurait dire si certains titres sont du Rhythm 'n' Blues ou bien de la Northern Soul .
