This week's #JukeboxFridayNight theme is #CountingDown. My choice is one of the most played 45s in my collection:

Vi Campbell: Seven Doors (1966)

Vi Campbell was a member of the Bland Dolls, the back up vocal group of Bobby Bland, and she also dueted with Bland on "Dear Bobby (The Note)", another great track, which was only issued on one of his albums.

This was her only solo release, with a great brass arrangement by Joe Scott, very similar to the Bobby Bland records from this era.
