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 10 Great songs are expertly arranged by Leon Pendarvis backed with superb instrumentation and topped with wonderful expressive Soulful vocal performances from Lou Courtney. The album includes the modern soul gems ‘What Do You Want Me To Do’, ‘I Don’t Want Nobody else’, ‘I’m in need of love’ and ‘The Common broken Heart’. 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’...
