Jean Carn's "Don't Let It Go To Your Head" Still Sounds As Visionary As It Did In 1978

One of the more underrated efforts from the Gamble and Huff songwriting/production powerhouse is "Don't Let It Go To Your Head," a soulful blast of treat me right performed by Jean Carn. (Also worth mentioning is Brand Nubian's terrific 1998 reworking of the tune, which samples the original). While doing a revisit of Philadelphia Interntaional Records classics over the weekend, this jumped out at us and shook us with just ahead of its time it still sounds. Take a few minutes and let it get into your heart. Better still, ignore its titular advice and let it do just that.
