125th St Candy Store - Tribute To Judy Over The Rainbow Loving You Baby Is So Very Hard To Do

Review by Lulu Akaki

Album Review: Tribute To Judy Over The Rainbow Loving You Baby Is So Very Hard To Do by 125th St Candy Store Released in 1969, Tribute To Judy Over The Rainbow Loving You Baby Is So Very Hard To Do by 125th St Candy Store is a hidden gem in the world of funk and soul. Under the Uptite Records label, this album delivers raw, heartfelt performances that stay true to its genre while showcasing a unique personality. With Horace Donnell wearing multiple hats as arranger, conductor, and producer—alongside collaborators Steve Camhi and Sy Cassorla—the project feels cohesive yet adventurous. The standout track "Loving You Baby Is So Very Hard To Do" grabs your attention right away. It’s not just another soul ballad; it's got weight. The vocals are dripping with emotion, like someone spilling their heart out on a late-night phone call. The instrumentation has this warm, almost analog hug feel to it, thanks to Donnell’s tight arrangements. You can tell they weren’t messing around in the studio—it’s polished but not overdone. This one sticks with you because it doesn’t try too hard to impress; it just lets the music breathe. Another highlight is “Tribute To Judy (Over The Rainbow).” Now, I gotta say, when I first heard this track, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But man, it sneaks up on you. There’s something about the way the melody builds—it starts off soft, almost shy, then crescendos into this big, bold statement. It’s kind of like watching a storm roll in from afar. By the end, you’re left feeling both uplifted and reflective, which is no small feat for any song. What makes this album special isn’t just the quality of the tracks but also how authentically it represents its time and place. Recorded in the US during the late '60s—a period brimming with cultural shifts—it carries a sense of urgency without ever being preachy. Sure, some parts might sound a little dated now, but that adds charm rather than detracting from it. It’s real, y’know? Like flipping through an old photo album where every snapshot tells a story. Reflecting on Tribute To Judy Over The Rainbow Loving You Baby Is So Very Hard To Do, it strikes me how much effort went into making something so personal feel universal. And honestly, isn’t that what great music does? Just don’t go asking me why they named it after two completely unrelated ideas slapped together—that part still confuses me!
