This time coupled with an unedited version of his crossover modern dancer It’s No Mistake.
Two jazz burners.
A shuffling, r&b version of a Lerner & Loewe tune from Brigadoon, by way of Nat King Cole.
Plus an instrumental one-away featuring Baba Brooks, Roland Alphonso and Lester Sterling. One of the reed players puts his foot in it, with a squawk, but who cares. Guess that’s why it’s previously unreleased and such a precious release now.
A worthy take on the Betty Wright classic, with funky drums and bass, rocking brass and jazzy flute. The guitarist gets his freak on, pon flip.
Olive ‘Senya’ Grant makes Horace Andy’s Please Don’t Go her own.
Family Man at the controls, on Clive Chin’s ticket.
Hypnotic, infectious space-funk from Chicago’s south side — and some bedroom funk on the flip — produced by Staple Singer’s engineer Don Greer in 1980.
Sweet, soaring, rocksteady courtship. BB Seaton, Delano Stewart and Maurice Roberts in top form. Plus a Ken Boothe scorcher — plangent, vocally idiosyncratic, stoic — masterfully channelling Otis.
Unmistakably sexy, classy SC over fun, rickety island disco produced by Franklyn Waul — from the Taxi Gang — in 1988.
