LEE BRYANT - It Is What It Is (2009) LANCE DANIELS - Satisfying (2005) Listen/download: http://www48.zippysh...99817/file.html Some comments: - Louis Price was a member of the Temptations for a short time, replacing Dennis Edwards. Included in this mix is a track from the solo album he recorded for Motown, an album which unfortunately didn´t sell much. - Sticky Stuff, a Swedish funk/soul band, pretty in demand among Japanese collectors who are into rare and obscure grooves. - Lara Saint Paul, a competent Leon Ware production. - Doni Hagan, not just any disco singer, but an artist firmly rooted in a soul music traditions, having worked with Curtis Mayfield and others. - Milestone recorded an album which is perhaps a bit on the slow side as a whole, but individual tracks work well, and included here is my personal favourite from the album. - Mark Dennard, obscure independent release, album track. - Soul, gospel, funk... Oldies + a few brand new and forthcoming releases as well. All in all a mixed bag of soulful sounds. Hope you enjoy the tunes.
