Jazz Vinyl Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) Grade A soulpop, deep jungle funk instrumentals, trombone solos, rough lead vocals/sweet harmonies. Bye bye Motown, welcome new day. http://stores.shop.ebay.com/wattsjazz__W0QQ_armrsZ1 ...... Edited May 11, 2009 by Jazz Vinyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Grade A soulpop, No.... Grade AAAAA+++++ At least. And then some. So much more than "just music". And not just them. Come 1979-80, let's talk about not just a dream deferred, but a dream in the process of becoming a reality blatantly being murdered in cold blood...

Chalupa Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 25 years? I thought it came out in the mid 70's?? A child is born with a heart of gold The way of the world makes his heart so cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 1974, iirc. So that makes it 35 years old, not 25. and when you take into account the time, place, and target audience, he first part of "See The Light" is as audaciously in-your-face as anything anybody's ever done.

Chuck Nessa Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I remember some of those folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I've said it before, but... when Charles Stepney was producing them, it was magic. After he died, it dropped half-a-notch or so to really damn great pop music. Which is more than enough most of the time, but after you've had magic... And Chuck, what do you know about Don Myrick? Was it Threadgillw ho called hime the "best" or "msot complete" or something-like that saxophonist he'd ever known? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Vinyl Posted May 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 oooga, my bad on the typo. I just corrected. Note to self - no posting before coffee. I'm living in a vinyl world and have not heard the bonus material on CD release. I believe there's 4 extra tracks (including a alt take on one of my favorites Happy Feeling). Any reports on the bonus tracks, worth the re-purchase? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
