OK, so this isn’t really a Top 10 list of the year, just 10 albums I’ve been playing a lot over the past couple of months. An honest representation, without trying to showcase my most ‘impressive’ or rare finds, though each of these records is extremely impressive to me. They are mostly old favorites that I find myself returning to time and again over the years. Thanks for reading, clicking, and commenting. I don’t know exactly why I’m doing this whole Instagram thing, but I’ve had some fantastic conversations with some of you in DM land and have enjoyed getting to know you and learning from you. Happy New Year! My picks, in no particular order: Johnnie Taylor - Super Taylor Freddie McGregor - Big Ship The Patterson Singers - Self-Titled Leroy Hutson - Feel The Spirit General Crook - Self-Titled Bettye Crutcher - Long As You Love Me Z.Z. Hill - Keep On Lovin’ You Marvin Gaye - Let’s Get It On Smokey - Pure Smokey Billie Holiday - Lady In Satin . #johnnietaylor #supertaylor #freddiemcgregor #bigship #thepattersonsingers #leroyhutson #feelthespirit #generalcrook #bettyecrutcher #longasyouloveme #zzhill #keeponlovinyou #marvingaye #letsgetiton #smokeyrobinson #puresmokey #billieholiday #ladyinsatin #music #vinyl #vinylalbums #newyear #happynewyear #instamusic #nowspinning #vinylrecords #vinyloftheday #recordcollector #records
The Patterson Singers – The Patterson Singers (1972) Atco. OG US press. . Are you ready for some soulful goodness? Look no further than The Patterson Singers' self-titled album from 1972, which was the gospel group's lone secular release. Lead singer Mildred Lane's powerhouse vocals take center stage as the group expertly mines the territory of gospel, soul, and pop. Although the group didn't write their own songs, the team’s great taste in material shines through with an impressive selection of tracks from Don Covay, Eddie Holland & Norman Whitfield (covering a favorite song of mine first done by the Velvelettes and later by the Tempts), George Soule, and Ike Turner. If you're a fan of The Staples, you're sure to love this record. "How Can You Say That Ain't Love" is a stone groover that found fame on the UK's Northern Soul dancefloors years after its release. In an album full of high points, probably the pinnacle for me is the cover of Phillip Mitchell's, "The Only Time You Ever Say You Love Me (Is When We're Making Love)" which is a classic southern soul, gospel-fired ballad that was done by quite a few artists and this is perhaps the best of them all. A great album from start to finish packed with intense, passionate performances... in other words, SOUL. . #vinyl #vinylcollector #vinylcommunity #nowspinning #vinylrecords #vinyloftheday #recordcollector #records #recordoftheday #vinyladdict #recordcollection #musiclovers #groovestoday . #thepattersonsingers #southernsoul #gospelsoul #soul #TheStaples #DonCovay, #EddieHolland, #NormanWhitfield, #Velvelettes #GeorgeSoule #IkeTurner #NorthernSoul #PhillipMitchell, #SOULmusic #bradshapiro #wademarcus
THE PATTERSON SINGERS: Even though it's Sunday, this is actually former gospel group Patterson Singers' first secular album! Dave Crawford and Brad Shapiro produced and lead singer is Mildred Lane. Great, early 70s soul in, for example, Don Covay's "A Letter Full of Tears".
