My latest mix has more of a commercial edge plus a few gems from Prelude
Sharon Brown is an American singer-songwriter and musician who was born in Harlem, New York City. She is the niece of songwriter Phil Medley, who co-wrote the song "Twist and Shout".[1] She is also the daughter of drummer William Brown, who played with musicians such as The Isley Brothers and Cannonball Adderley
There is no doubt that Bill Brandon was a great vocalist. His strong gospel baritone, at times pleading, at times compelling, has been undervalued for years. He was born on October 7, 1943 in Huntsville, Alabama and was raised in a very musical environment. Brandon started his career with Quin Ivy cutting some very superior southern soul. Self Preservation is a deep soul classic, a beautifully realised country ballad, superbly produced by Spooner Oldham. Percy Sledge paid the song the compliment of a cover. The flip is the rip-roaring “Full Grown Lovin’ Man”, a real groover which should be as big a dancefloor favourite as Don Varner’s “Tear Stained Face”.
