(Cover has a cut corner, but this is a beautiful copy overall.)
Sublime uptown soul from the great Ben E King – and session that has him paired with a young Claus Ogermann on arrangements!

Man Of Love ... LP Black America/Buddah, Mid 60s. Near Mint- ...
$9.99
A strong, if un-dated, speech by Dr King – one that breaks down the history of integration and race relations in America – offering extreme insights on all points, of the sort that really gets at the power of his word back in the 60s. (Spoken Word, Soul)LP, Vinyl record album

A standout classic from Fern Kinney – and a set that not only marked a big moment of evolution for southern soul, but also for the Mississippi scene as well!

A classic set from this big 80s group – and given the work that must have gone into the doos on the cover of this one, it's no surprise Klymaxx are in the Ladies Room – most likely still waiting for their hair to dry!

A hell of a live set from Sonny Knight & The Lakers – a record that's twice as long as the group's studio session, and maybe twice as smoking as well!

Fantastic live stuff from the classic early period of Kool & the Gang!

Despite the title, this doesn't really seem to be an anthology of Ketty's other work – so much as it is a new set of recordings with a very traditional feel.

An album of theirs that you don't see that often – with Barry White's takes on popular movie hits.
