Shirley Alston & Others (1975)


Shirley Alston - With A Little Help From Her Friends

The Shirelles consisted of Shirley Owens, Addie Micki" Harris, Beverly Lee Born and Doris Coley With a strong distinctive voice, Owens was the natural leader. In 1975 Shirley teamed up with producer and former Shirelles manager Randy Irwin for a unique concept LP called Shirley Alston With A Little Help From Her Friends. The friends were famous doo wop groups who backed Shirley while she sang lead on their biggest hits, e.g., I Only Have Eyes for You with the Moonglows, hen or Where with the Belmonts, Save the Last Dance for Me with the Drifters, and In the Still of the Night with the Five Satins.

01 I Only Have Eyes For You (with The Flamingos)
02 Save The Last Dance For Me (with The Drifters)
03 Our Day Will Come (with The Romantics)
04 1,000 Miles Away - Daddy's Home (with Shep & Limelites)
05 In The Still Of The Night (with The 5 Satins)
06 Where Or When (with The Belmonts)
07 Sincerely (with Danny & Juniors)
08 Silhouettes (with Herman's Hermits)

10 I Do Love You
11 I'd Rather Not Be Loving You

Shirley Alston - With A Little Help From Her Friends (1975)

Frankie Valli (1975)


Frankie Valli - Inside You (1975)

Inexplicably, and almost out of nowhere, Frankie Valli reappeared in 1975 on Motown (Mowest MWS-7007); no doubt a result of the friendship he struck up with the Motown family as they emerged from Detroit to their new palatial digs in Los Angeles. Gone are the teeny bopper, sugar coated songs that made Francis Stephen Castelluccio a teenage sensation with his Four Seasons; and in its place Inside You finds him a focused lead vocalist determined to escape the trappings of effeminate falsetto wailing. The five minute lead off track Just Look What You Done builds on the four on the floor classic Motown sound, but layers Philly string arrangements and the fierce song writing and production of Frank Wilson. There are some predictably soggy, forgettable moments on the record, including a tepid version of the classic Baby I Need Your Loving. Even "The Mack" maestro Willie Hutch throws a tune to Valli with Thank You that doesn't come across as a painful listening experience. All in all, it's an album from a man who was ready and raring to relaunch his career.

01 Just Look What You've Done
02 Love Isn't Here (Like It Used To Be)
03 Baby I Need Your Loving
04 Inside You
05 Charisma
06 And I Will Love You
07 Walk On, Don't Look Back
08 Thank You
09 Hickory
10 Life And Breath
11 The Night
12 With Eye's Wide Open

Jerry Ross Symposium vol2


Jerry Ross Symposium vol 2

Sweet and easy grooving from The Jerry Ross Symposium. Jerry was a successful producer for Motown and Mercury and was stepping more into the limelight with The Jerry Ross Symposium, a mostly instrumental group dedicated to exploring the hipper side of easy listening, aided heavily by Claus Ogerman, who arranged the set! Some cuts have dreamy chorus vocals in the background -- but the main sound comes from Ogerman's masterful way of smoothing together the horns and giving the record a rolling bass at the bottom, using the electric instrument in a mode that he'd picked up from European easy of the 60s, and which emerges here with the voices in a cool style that's almost got an MPS easy sort of feel. Titles include Superwoman,Too Late To Turn Back Now,How Can I Be Sure,Day By Day, and Too Young.

01 How can i be sure/ Day by day/ Take it out on me
02 I saw the light/ Life & breath
03 Superwoman
04 If we only have love/ Oh girl/ It happened on a sunday morning
05 Too late to turn back now/ I wanna be where you are
06 Brandy
07 It's the same old love
08 Too oung
09 Duck you sucker

Beautiful Bend 1978


Beautiful Bend - Make That Feeling Come Again!

Russian born Boris Midney's 1978 epoch album, Make That Feeling Come Again! under the studio name Beautiful Bend, was a Disco tour de force. He brought it all to life at his Eras recording studio in New York City which boasted 48 tracks. Layer upon layer of sounds are built up to create this symphonic Disco masterpiece that manages to blend his classical and jazz background with the thumping sounds of Disco and a little funky guitar thrown in for good measure. If you enjoy the music of Alec R. Costandinos, Voyage or other groups like USA European Connection then Beautiful Bend is a must! An edited 12 inch single was released on TK Records of the above tracks, but it is the complete album shown here that needs to be heard to appreciate the scope of Boris Midney's work.

Double Exposure


Double Exposure - Anthology

Philadelphians Leonard Davis, Joe Harris, Chuck Whittington, and Jimmy Williams were Double Exposure, one of the more prominent groups on the mighty disco label Salsoul.
Despite the thick soul leanings of Double Exposure's sound, they failed to light up the U.S. charts. However, they did fare much better in clubs and enjoyed more success in England. 1976's Ten Percent featured a pair of major club hits with the title track and My Love Is Free. Both songs were remixed by Walter Gibbons, who maximized the dancefloor appeal; his ten-minute mix of Ten Percent was initially issued to DJs and caught fire so fast that it was eventually released to the public. Contrary to common belief, it wasn't the first 12" remix single, but it was one of the most popular of the format's early days. The album also included a rather controversial song called Everyman, which called for people to take care of their own needs (in the song, a down-and-out person asks for change and gets a scolding instead). With the addition of a couple ballads and a cover of Holland-Dozier-Holland's Baby I Need Your Loving, Ten Percent is one of Salsoul's best single-artist LPs. I Got the Hots For Ya became another club favorite. By the end of 1980, the group was no more.

Millions of fans have seen her unique performances voiced all over the globe. Talented entertainer Diana Ross now has specially chosen for a unique, once in a lifetime performance, this years' edition of Symphonica in Rosso. It will be a show to which one can dance, but in which romantic sing-along ballads also will be performed. Fans are expected from all over Europe at this international acknowledged event to share in the performance of one of the world's greatest concerts artists and vocalists.

I must say I'm really looking forward to sharing this experience in the Netherlands. I've always had a special place in my heart for the Dutch audiences, they've always given me a wonderful welcome. We're planning to perform all those songs that the Dutch audience really want to hear, in what I see as being one of the biggest productions imaginable.! I can already feel the excitement!', Miss Ross said from the US.

It is with great pride that Symphonica in Rosso welcomes the spirit and aura of Diana Ross to the most precious music event in the Netherlands. The first three editions of Symphonica in Rosso attracted more than 600.000 visitors during 19 sold-out evenings at the Gelredome-stadium. Symphonica in Rosso is according to worldwide standards a gigantic production. A team of more than 550 people work on these spectacular shows and at certain times, more than 100 people have been performing simultaneously on the enormous stage. Combining the biggest names in the music industry, a gigantic stage, special sound- and lightning effects, impressive videographics and the red theme, together with an audience dressed in red, make Symphonica in Rosso a yearly event not to be missed.

The legendary Diana Ross is one of the most successful female artists of all-time, a musical treasure whose songs have, for decades, inspired romance, happiness and joy. She has had countless hit songs: in the USA alone, Diana Ross has scored 18 Billboard-number-one-hits with The Supremes, as a solo artist, and with classic duets such as Endless Love recorded with Lionel Richie. Diana Ross crosses musical borders with exhilarating ease - pop, disco, soul, and jazz, constantly reaching out to find new ways to inspire and enthral her audiences. Miss Ross has achieved a truly global iconic status: she has performed at historical events the world over, at the Olympics, at inaugurations for Presidents, during the Superbowl, at Nobel Peace Prize ceremonies. She has inspired many of the female artists who have followed her, such as Beyonce, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. As America's Kennedy Center observed when they honoured her in 2007: "Gladness has informed all of Diana Ross' body of work. This lady doesn't just sing the blues. She sings pure joy".
