Secrets Of Flying (with bonus tracks)

Add Item to Want List
CD (Item 605992) Columbia/FTG, 1988 — Condition: New Copy

A killer second set from Johnny Kemp – and a great showcase for the talents of a young Teddy Riley too! Teddy helped out with the album's leadoff track – the excellent "Just Got Paid", one of those 80s soul numbers that broke big right of the box – and which has gone onto be one of the best illustrations of mainstream soul at its best from the time! And while that track's got an infectious energy that's undeniable, the record also shows Johnny Kemp in a lot more flavors – including some great ballad modes that really let his unique vocals sparkle and glisten. Titles include the great "Urban Times Medley" of "Inner City Blues/Mercy Mercy Me" – plus "Dancin With Myself", "My Only Want Is You", "One Thing Led To Another", "Feeling Without Touching", "Just Like Flying", and "Just Got Paid". CD features bonus tracks – "Dancin With Myself (12" version)", "Dancin With Myself (alt mix)", "Just Got Paid (inst)", and "Just Got Paid (dub)".  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
