Susan Phillips’ ‘Soft sexy Soul’ ‘Holy Grail album’ was recorded for Sylvia Robinson’s All Platinum label 1971, pressed in small quantities. Few copies have ever surfaced, it is so rare that many collectors doubt if it was ever released
The album has that classic early 70’s New Jersey Orchestrated Soul sound. The album contains the in demand 2-step single ‘He Knows My Key (is always in the Mailbox)’ , the Northern Soul floater ‘Answer to my Prayer’ , Detroit sounding ‘Please Don’t Keep Me Lonely’ the multi paced ‘Where Do I Go From Here’ and many great ballads like ‘He’s Gone’ and ‘This I’ll Guarantee’. The haunting beat ballad ‘Goodbye My Love’ sounds like the template for a lot of new ‘vintage’ soul acts with that cavernous, minor key feel and pleading lyrics.
