CONTROLLERS - 1977 - IN CONTROL

The Controllers were among the most underrated and overlooked ’70s soul groups. They didn’t generate nearly as much publicity or have as much crossover success as fellow Alabama performers the Commodores, but their slow songs were far more earthy and explosive. Their reflective “Somebody’s Gotta Win” eloquently and passionately delivered by lead singer Reginald McArthur, stands tall amongst the set’s more Southern-flavored offerings. This album was a solid hit with R&B and Southern soul audiences, and still retains plenty of power. Collectables later reissued this album as part of their Golden Classics series.

Tracks:
A1 People Want Music 5:01
A2 Heaven Is One Step Away 7:13
A3 This Train 3:56
B1 You Ain’t Fooling Me 3:19

Barrino Brothers -1973- LivinHighOffTheGoodnessOfYourLove


Excellent North Carolina-based quartet on Holland-Dozier-Holland’s label.

Another super rare release from the excellent Barrino Brothers whose 1972 single release ‘I Shall Not Be Moved’ is one of the most sought after UK 45’s on the label.
The LP can easily boast many more gems too for example check out the opening song ‘Trapped In A Love’ which is another mid tempo treat that’s ideal for any commercial dance floor.For real collectors the highlight of the album must be the inclusion of the superb ballad ‘It Doesn’t Have To Be This Way’ which is a highly collectable item today.


This is a highly recommended purchase alongside the other Hot Wax/Invictus CD’s. A word of warning though, buy them now to avoid disappointment, and finding yourself waiting another thirty years until someone decides to re-issue them again.

A1 I Had It All 4.16

THE CHOCOLATE JAM CO - 1979 - the spread of the future

A funky fusion classic from the 70s -- the one and only album from Chocolate Jam Company, a hip little group headed up by percussionist Leon Ndugu Chancler! The core sound is soul, but there's plenty of fusion touches as well -- thanks to a great lineup of players that includes Oscar Brashear on trumpet, George Duke on keyboards, David T Walker on guitar, and even Dorothy Ashby on harp! Chancler sings lead vocals on most cuts -- but he's also joined by Virginia Ayers and Leo Mille on some cuts too -- making for a really well-rounded sound that's easily one of the best jazz-into-soul sessions like this from the 70s -- almost topping the more famous work from folks like Lenny White or Mtume!

Light Of The World - 1980

RICHARD DIMPLES - 1982 - Mr look so good

An early 80s classic from Richard Dimples Fields -- one of the most unique talents in soul music of his generation -- with an appeal that's both down home, and smoothly sophisticated at the time! In a way, Fields' music represents many changes his audience was going through at the time -- classing things up a bit, and heading into the mainstream -- yet still very much concerned about the same issues and challenges of years past. The approach is almost southern soul by way of southern California -- rough edges polished out, but still earthy enough to hang out with the crowd from back home. Almost all titles are originals, and Richard handled most of the production too -- on tracks that include "If It Ain't One Thing It's Another", "After I Put My Lovin On You", "Baby Work Out", "Mr Look So Good", "Taking Applications", and "A Freak On The Side".
