I think its laudable that at his age he is still making vital contemporary music that draws on his impressive recording history. Smokey can still teach us a few things.

from the song "I fit in there"
"If empty fills up your private place
And nothin' and no one can penetrate
If you got an inner vacancy
Baby, then make it a place for me"

As silly and vain as the album cover may present - this is actually a serious return to form for Mr. Robinson. I was pleasantly surprised on how well executed this album was. Even the overly...
I was just re-listening to this project. 51+ years later - it still holds up as a wonderful collection of recordings. I think its time for a deluxe reissue, preferably on vinyl!
Hey Soul heads - wanted to share two amazing modern soul albums that have been on my stereo non stop all summer. As wonderful as I think these are they may be under the radar to most folks -- 1)...
I am still on the vinyl kick so I bit the bullet and ore-ordered the Deluxe vinyl set.
I picked up some great titles - on the soul side - the Stairsteps 2nd Resurrection; the Temptations - All Directions, BB King Blues is King, Terry Callier - Hidden Conversations, Bill Evans...
Chaka is dope - nice new track
19802 - a real classic that needs a reissue
Love Sylvester in all of his phases. Most favorite is a tie between Sell My Soul and Living Proof - 2 really big albums in NYC when I was a teenager.19801
I actually purchased this - had it on pre-order since October. It sounds fabulous both the original album and the second disc cut in Mono with materials that was on the Deluxe cd release from a few...
Now ready for pre-order:

The cd release has just been announced for May -- pre-order now available at Amazon.com:...

Ashford and Simpson????????
Sam Henshaw sounds interesting - sampled the videos. I'm hoping to find him on vinyl or cd. Not a downloader! Thanks for the tip.
2022 is starting up nicely - been saturating myself with some good grown- folk soul music. I wanted to share and see what other new and good things people have been listening to at the start of the...
Don't sleep on Almighty Fire...some of her best vocals and a solid lp overall.
Does anyone beside me here a vocal affinity between Joe Simon [[R.I.P.) and Gregory Porter? He gets my vote to play him in the film [[should there ever be one). I will miss him; and I actually love...
Love Linda Jones and her 'round da way" soul. In some ways Mary J. and Teena Marie seem like musical descendants of her particular style of singing. Been listening to her "Let It Be Me" album on...

My bad --it is Bobby Smith and Pervis Jackson recorded as the lead male vocals [[acording to Wikipedia). Pardon the misinformation!
This is a nice find..it actually clarifies the lyrics for me; although Chaka's version still kicks be-hind, I always had to interpret what she was singing, especially on the 2nd verse ! Is David...
