Be A Winner (with bonus tracks)
CD (Item 559340) Total Experience/Big Break (UK), 1984 — Condition: New Copy
A winning batch of modern soul from Yarbrough & Peoples – synthy duet soul, bits of funk, and some sweety sultry groovers, too! Y&P do their thing in a number of modes, and that fairly expansive approach to the 80s R&B sound really sets them apart from many of their peers. On one level, the synths and period production touches are kind of slick, but there's enough of a bubbling funky underbelly to give it some grit. Alisa Peoples can deliver a sultry coo or powerhouse lead with equal success, and Calvin Yarbrough is a charismatic partner. "Don't Waste Your Time", "I'm Ready To Jam", "I'll Be There", "I Only Love You", "Be A Winner", "The Power", "Who Said That", "I Gave My All (To You)" and more. This remastered version from Big Break UK has 6 bonus tracks – 12" and dance mixes including "Don't Wast Your Time (12" Remix)", "Be A Winner (12" Version)", "I'll Be There (12" Version)", "I Only Love You (12" Version, "Don't Wast Your Time (Special Dance Mix/Dub Edit)" and "Be A Winner (12" Dub Version)". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
