Trax feat. Shirley Brown, The Lovers, Salsoul Orchestra, Celeda

 

 

Blessed is the woman  –  Shirley Brown (After the demise of Stax Records – Shirley moved unto Arista for a one-off self titled album … written by Betty Crutcher also a former Stax artist and some of their backroom boys)

Discomania  –  The Lovers (Inbetween creating The Ritchie Family & Village People – writer, arranger, producer Jacques Morali dropped this medley of then current hits … the instrumental b-side is also a classic)

Journey to Pheobus  –  Salsoul Orchestra (Vincent Montana Jnr was at the helm of Sigma Sound session musicians based in Philadelphia  … from the album ‘Magic Journey’  – this overlooked track has recently gathered momentum)

Music is the answer (Dancin’ & Prancin’)  –  Celeda (Real name Victoria Sharpe was inspired by such talent as Patti Labelle & Sylvester … features the cream of producers includes E-Smoove, Cevin Fisher, Peter Rauhofer and Danny Tenaglia)
