The Meters "All I Do Everyday" (Warner Bros Records) 1977 .... demo from the "New Directions" sessions ....

Leon Ware "Don"t You Wanna Come" (Gordy) 1976/2003 .... Marvin Gaye admired the work of Leon Ware and took over all songs destined to be Ware's first album on Motown for his "I Want You" release .... the demos from the original Ware sessions give an idea about the originator's qualities ....

Johnny Colon "Son Montuno" (Cotique) 1975 .... another William Millan masterpiece ....

Ed Motta "Marta" (Membran) 2013 .... spectacular bassgroove by Robinho Tavares ....

His finest hour on Columbia ....

A masterpiece .... btw a good read attached ..... ; https://kennygamble.com/blogs/news/50-years-later-gamble-and-huff-s-philly-sound-stirs-the-soul

Superb .... btw agree on your cover art assessment ....

Alton McClain and Destiny "It Must Be Love" (Polydor) 1978 .... Soul's loss was Disco's gain ....

Outstanding ....

First Choice "Chances Go Around" ?(Gold Mind Records) 1977 .... top notch vocals and epic bassgrooves by James Williams ....

Melita Lorkovic plays the last three Beethoven Sonatas in 1977 ....

Consumer Rapport "Ease On Down The Road" (Wing On A Prayer/Atlantic) 1975 .... groovy Hues Corporation Cover....

C.J. & Co. "Rainbow Music" (Westbound unreleased) 1978 .... Dennis Coffey and Mike Theodore stint bordering to both Funk and Disco ....

Indeed 😍 ....

Omitting King the pitchers have Big League potential (only) .... but a high price for a one year party nevertheless ....

Endre Hegedusz plays Wagner/Liszt in 1987 ....

Parliament "Flash Light (12" Version)" (Casablanca) 1978 ....

The early releases on Inca Records .... the trio "From The Depth Of My Brain", "El Rey Del Ritmo" and "El De A 20 De Willie" on Top Hit is great .... but actually it's hard to go wrong with him at all ....

L.T.D "Age Of The Showdown" (A & M Records) 1977 .... Jeffrey Osborne on fire and Henry Davis in the groove ....

Rod Stewart "The First Cut Is The Deepest" (Warner Bros Records) .... "blue eyed soul" cover of this Cat Stevens song recorded @ Muscle Shoals Studios .... always wondered how this would sound without strings (added later @ Criteria Studios, Miami) ....

Excellent ....

Good one ....

Miguel Quintana "A La Loma De Belem" (Toboga Records) 1982 .... Alfredo Valdes Jr. on piano ....

Double Exposure "My Love Is Free" (Salsoul) 1976 .... obviously a big Disco hit, but the lead vocals of Jimmy Williams are the best 70's soul had to offer beneath Teddy Pendergrass and Eddie Levert .... the Tom Moulton Mix bringst the rhythm backbone of Ron Baker and Earl Young to the fore favourably ....

Very sad .... R.I.P ....
