Out Today - Harlem Gospel Travellers - Look Up - Lp/Cd View full article
-
Out today at last, the looked forward to album from Colemine Records THE HARLEM GOSPEL TRAVELERS Look Up! CATALOG: CLMN-12050 RELEASE DATE: 9/16/22 Things are looking up for The Harlem Gospel Travelers, who return here with a new album, a new lineup, and a new lease on life. Produced by Eli Paperboy Reed, Look Up! marks the group’s first full-length release as a trio, as well as their first collection of totally original material, and it couldn’t have come at a more vital moment. The music still draws deeply on the gospel quartet tradition of the ’50s and ’60s, of course, but there’s a distinctly modern edge to the record, an unmistakable reflection of the tumultuous past few years of pandemic anxiety, political chaos, and social unrest. The songs are bold and resilient, facing down doubt and despair with faith and perseverance, and the performances are explosive and ecstatic, fueled by dazzling vocal arrangements punctuated with gritty bursts of guitar and crunchy rhythm breaks. Colemine exclusive bundle includes clearwater blue LP and exclusive 'Hold Your Head Up' / 'Do You Know The Man' 45 on red wax! Stream, purchase, download, play and more via https://ffm.to/clmn12050 -

word from Cannonball Records of two strong releases due out Nov 2022 avail for preorder Gillespie & Co. feat. Dolly James "Keep on Doin' What you're Doin" (Original Take) "Keep on Doin' What you're Doin" (Alberto's Groove) 7"/45rpm - Limited Edition Full Digital Download included Not that Gloucester’s finest Andrew Gillespie needs any introduction, yet we need to talk a little about Dolly James, the great singer featured in this song. Dolly and Andrew met at a local recording/rehearsal studio in 2012 or 2013 where Dolly was rehearsing with her then band Soular UK. Andrew joined them on congas/percussion for a one off gig in Cheltenham and wasted no time in asking Dolly do the vocals for a song that he had just written ( Keep On Doin’ What Your Doin’ ) which was influenced by the Salsoul records disco sound and may take on that style. Andrew Gillespie started off recording as The Aries Vibration ( one self released 45) in 2009 then Gillespie & Co ( various 45 releases, La Glosta Nostra (one 45 release) as well as doing session musician work for labels from California to Switzerland and UK (Discgogs for full history ). Dolly has had a long and successful career as backing singer for the likes of Matt Bianco, Van Morrison, Mick Hucknall and many others. Tesla’s very own Alberto has additionally produced the flipside. Bermudas' Finest LEON COOK "Steppin' in" / "The Last One To Know" 7"/45rpm - Limited Edition Full Digital Download included A brief introduction to the sound. Almost all the islands east of the Americas developed a love for ballad singing in the 60s often via listening to doo wop and soul tracks from their own and occasionally US radio stations. This sort of music was interspersed with all sorts of varieties of jump up music from calypso, and later soca and so on. The dominant form of music though was the sound of Jamaica, starting with ska, through rock steady (the soul beat), and this particularly applies for those islands which were closer to the continent. But what about the Bermudas? Although its music is generally considered part of the Caribbean heritage, they are way more north and lost in the Atlantic Ocean than any other caribbean country thus they have been under many different influences due to being in the middle of oceanic routes between Europe and The New World. You could listen to some great Calypso imported from Trinidad and Tobago as well as bagpipe music Irish and Scottish soldiers imported during layovers on the 18th and 19th centuries. A big role was played by Soul Music aswell, pushed by the many Canadians and Portuguese residing on the islands and investing a lot in the entertinament industry (like they did in all the Caribbean after all). It’s the case of Leon Cook who came out with a brilliant Long Player by the title of “Cookin’ with Leon” out of which we licensed the brilliant “Steppin’ in” for a first-ever-relase on a 7” backed by the later ballad “The Last One To Know”. The album was produced by Eddy De Mello, a white portugese business man (radio plugger, event manager, music producer) based on Hamilton, Bermuda, who had put together a mix of white and black musicians and went to the pressing plant under his Edmar Records label. Cook has worked with Sonny Stitt, Jack McDuff, Clark Terry, Hank Marr, and numerous other jazz stars, and traveled with bands led by Richard “Groove” Holmes, Jimmy McGriff, and Rusty Bryant. “I think every musician should have the experience of being on the road with a teacher, like I was,” Cook said. “They taught me not only about music but about life. And playing jazz is a lifelong thing. It's something that teaches you not only how to play your instrument but it teaches you how to be a person.” more info via https://cannonballsoul.com/

A 'northern soul' themed autumn campaign from Flannels brings an interesting interview with Paul Sadot An original face on the scene, Sadot was there throughout northern soul’s heyday. A regular at Wigan Casino – and the clubs that followed – he was hitchhiking and skipping school to get his music fix each weekend, travelling the country to hit the next opening. It was a defining time in his life, leading him to a career in dance. Here, he talks walking into Wigan Casino for the first time, what northern soul represents and what dance means to him.

Rare Soul Volume 3 by Emandolynn Music - Digital Album release View full article

Rare Soul | Volume 3 by Emandolynn Music - Digital Album release Emandolynn Music presents Rare Soul Volume 3 featuring unreleased, and rare soul music from the catalog of Philadelphia based songwriter/producer Manny Campbell and his production company Emandolynn Music. Volume 3 features rare/unreleased music from Carolynn Porter, Sharisma and The Delights Carolynn Porter. Philly’s own Carolynn Porter, a popular session singer and performer. She recorded several singles and demos for Manny Campbell’s imprint Monica Records (named after Mr. Campbell’s daughter Monica). Only two singles were formally released via 45 promo copies (You’re The Reason My Heart Beats/ Away With You - 1969). All music was recorded at famous Sigma Sounds Studios in Philadelphia. Arrangements by Roy Lee Johnson and background vocals and music from The Trammps. Sharisma was a group out of Wilmington, Delaware that worked with Emandolynn music from 1969-1970. After meeting at a show, they traveled to Philadelphia to record with Manny Campbell (Soulville Productions) in hopes of completing a album. Before they could complete album recorded at Sigma Sounds studios, the group disbanded due to lead singers being drafted in military and returning to Vietnam War. The Delights consisted of four male singers. With two of them being Manny Campbell's cousins, brothers Keith Toppie' (the eldest) and Ellis Hill, their cousin Jaime Hill plus a teenage friend of theirs. The lead singer was a girl called Peaches, all aged between 16 and 17 years old and all coming from Chester, PA. They had all previously been employed as individual backing singers on early recording sessions for the like's of the O'Jay's , Delfonic's and Stylistic's. With a family connection to Manny Campbell it was inevitable that they would feature on some of his production sessions, with the Nuron's All Of My Life/I'm A Loser' being one of them. Manny gathered them together to form a vocal group of their own under the group name of 'The Delights'. Under his tutelage they recorded the delightful crossover soul dance track Listen To Me Girl' during the months of July and August of 1968. Sadly their only completed recording being young and somewhat unruly they never completed the project's Manny had in mind for them. Listen To Me Girl' was composed by Manny and Charles J. Bowen a fellow Philadelphian, musician and composer, Charles's writing credits can be found on many of Manny's other productions. During the mid 1970's The Delights did go on to record two excellent 45's for the Phil-L.A Of Soul Label. Rare Soul | Volume 3 by Emandolynn Music Track Listing 1.

The British Library - An Evening with Duke Fakir of The Four Tops - Mon 03 Oct 2022 - Live & Online View full article

The British Library is holding an interesting event, available live or online I'll Be There: An Evening with Duke Fakir of The Four Tops Mon 3 Oct 2022, 19:00 - 20:30 The event ties in with the recent book I'll Be There: My Life with the Four Tops Hardcover by Duke Fakir (Author), Kathleen McGhee Anderson (Author) Event details follow below I'll Be There: An Evening with Duke Fakir of The Four Tops This event will take place at the British Library. It will be simultaneously live streamed on the British Library platform. Tickets may be booked either to attend in person (physical), or to watch on our platform (online) either live or within 48 hours on catch up. Viewing links will be sent out shortly before the event. The online version of this event will be live captioned. Motown Records vocal quartet The Four Tops were one of the most celebrated groups of all time. Teaming up at school in Deroit in the early 1950s, Obie Benson Lawrence Payton, Duke Fakir and Levi Stubbs went on to record a string of era-defining hit singles including ‘Reach Out, I'll Be There’, ‘I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)’, ‘Standing in the Shadows of Love’ and ‘Baby I Need Your Loving’. They ranked with The Temptations and The Supremes as Motown’s most consistent hitmakers, but stardom also came with a more enduring reward: the love of four men who spent over four decades together without a personnel change. Abdul ‘Duke’ Fakir, the last surviving member of The Four Tops, makes a special appearance at the British Library ahead of a new tour, to talk with his trademark honesty, humour and humility about his long life and career, as he publishes his memoir I’ll Be There. The book covers Duke’s Detroit childhood, The Four Tops’ early days as backing singers and their years of success, but doesn’t shy away from struggles with sobriety and relationships, soured investment deals and the sudden loss of his brothers. Duke Fakir is joined in conversation by Jacqueline Springer, Curator, Africa and Diaspora: Performance, Victoria & Albert Museum. Bar open from 6pm. The conversation will be followed by a book signing. Online event bookers can buy a copy of I’ll Be There: My Life with the Four Tops with a ticket at checkout for £23 (with UK postage) and watch the event for free. International postage will be higher. Books will be posted out within 7 days after the event. Please ensure your address is up to date on your British Library account. In association with Omnibus Press If you’re attending in person, please arrive no later than 15 minutes before the start time of this event. We are committed to the safety of our event bookers.
