I wish Happy New Year. I have the pleasure to present an extremely rare album by the group named Rhapsody. The name of band leader is Nick Fradiani. He is singer, songwriter, guitarist and bassist.

The album has two directions. The first direction is AOR and includes songs who sings Nick Fradiani. The second direction is soul/jazz and includes songs who sings Asa Harris. More info concerning the band, you can see here below....

........... RE: The album was recorded at Connecticut Recording Studios, Bridgeport, CT. In my opinion, it is one of the top albums that were ever recorded .......

...... MORE SOUL ARTISTS WHO CUT AT THIS STUDIO .............

Paul Leka was a native of Bridgeport, Connecticut where his Connecticut Recording Studio was located (on Main Street). He had already enjoyed success in the music business, having worked with the likes of Bobby Darin, the Lemon Pipers, Steam (“Na, Na, Hey, Hey, Kiss Him Goodbye”) and Lefte Banke. Judy White had cut one of his songs in 1968 and he recorded an outfit called the Freedom Soul Singers for Epic in 1971. In 1973 he had gotten Gloria Gaynor's recording career started, producing her Columbia track “Honeybee”. He had also been working with a locally based soul singer, Jimmy Jackson, but saw the Hitchhikers as an act he could really make a great soul based album with. So by 1974, when Kenny Hamber & the Hitchhikers went into Connecticut Recording Studio, the facility was already well established. The studio had been in existence for a number of years but in 1973 it had been refurbished and updated.
