LW’s the genius behind Marvin’s I Want You and the genie animating nuff Theo and KDJ. Here’s his two-step touchstone from 1982, featuring the bim bimmer Why I Came To California, and Somewhere, a duet with the great Flora Purim. (Airto’s on call, too.)

Sixties southern soul, originally out on John Richbourg’s Sound Stage Seven.
Knockouts, start-to-finish.

Three hours from the legendary Festival — Rance Allen, The Emotions, The Temprees, The Soul Children, Isaac Hayes, Richard Pryor, The Staples Singers, The Bar-Kays, Rufus Thomas and the rest.

Early-eighties R&B. (Previously unreleased, though Charles Davis cut a version for Sutra.)

Outstanding Goldwax soul, unreleased at the time.
A once-bitten-twice-shy wailer, backed with some rocking Northern.

‘Three fabulous gems from the Cameo-Parkway catalogue ensure another winner: The Orlons’ I Ain’t Coming Back, I Love Him So by Nikki Blu, and Comin’ Home Baby by Dee Dee Sharp.’ Loads more lovely stuff.
