The Voices were, an often, 20-member ensemble whose ages ranged from 12 to 21. They worked with producers Leroy Hutson and Curtis Mayfield on their recordings for the Just Sunshine Records label. 'Voices of East Harlem' was their debut for the imprint from 1973 and includes the iconic Modern Soul dancer ‘Cashing in’ and the massive Rare groove classic ‘Wanted Dead or Alive’. The stomping 'Just Believe In Me' is a funky soul gem, ‘Little People’, the up tempo floater ‘New Vibrations’ and beautiful ballads ‘Giving Love’ and ‘Loving you the way I do’ are also essential but the whole...

Lou Courtney recorded one of the all time great 70’s Soul albums in 1974 with the Jerry Ragavoy co-produced ‘I’m in need of love’.

The Philly inspired up tempo cuts ‘I Will if You Will’ and ‘Somebody new is Lovin' on You’ plus there are some...
Superb Disco Jazz Funk album ‘Turn this Mutha Out’, recorded from the Kudu label in 1977. ‘Could Heaven Ever Be Like This’ – a long-term favourite is like being momentarily transported to Jazz Funk paradise, a magical track that has become a classic. ‘Camby Bolongo’ is a delightful percussion heavy rhythmic instrumental featuring Randy Brecker on Trumpet and Jeremy Steig on flute. ‘Crab Apple’ is a wonderfully funky track with a great bass line and groove that has found favour with samplers. ‘Moon Hymn’ is a beautiful etherial track featuring David Tofani on Soprano Sax, that develops into a mid...
Sandra Wright recorded one of the best albums ever made at Muscle Shoals in 1974 with ‘Wounded woman’. This superb Southern Soul album was unissued at the time surfacing only in 1989. This remastered version with a period stlye sleeve really brings out the beauty of the nine great songs. The bustling ‘Midnight Affair’ and the slightly slower ‘I Come Running Back’are fantastic and have become Modern Soul dancefloor favourites. The dancer ‘A Man Can’t Be A Man’ has more tempo. The Southern Soul ballads ‘Sha-La bandit’, ‘Im Not Strong Enough’ , ‘I’ll See your through’ and ‘Please Don’t Say’...
