Title: Big SOUL sound from the 1970s
Product review: Joe Simon- always one of my favorite singers with his enormous baritone- soars to great heights here. Responding to the pressure of keeping soul a viable musical idiom in the age of disco, the productions are HUGE. Joe sings his songs of loneliness abandon and romantic loss before a crowd strings, horns and background vocals. He seems to be aiming for ELVIS' crown! The first album is produced by JOHN RICHBOURG, the genius behind Sound Stage 7 Records and features songs by TONY JOE WHITE and ALLEN TOUSSAINT. The second album is produced by TEDDY RANDAZZO. This is one of my favorite discs and one which I never tire of hearing. Highly recommended!
