Soulful Strings Play Gamble-Huff

Add to Cart$19.99 ... LP
(€15.35 || £13.05 || ¥2025) (approx.)
LP (Item 18795) Cadet, 1970 — Condition: Very Good

One of the grooviest albums ever cut by Richard Evans' Soulful Strings, and a tasty batch of tracks written by Gamble & Huff, years before they started the Philly International label. The tracks are great, with the kind of arrangements that made Evans a legend in the Chi soul scene – and most of the titles have some very tasty solos by the likes of Billy Wooten, Cash McCall, and Phil Upchurch. The lively writing of the Gamble & Huff team provides a perfect foil for Evans' sophisticated approach to soul – and we almost wonder if it was hearing him do these string-heavy versions of their songs that made Gamble & Huff go for a similar approach on their groundbreaking 70s soul work! Titles include "Together", "I've Got The Groove", "Deeper In Love With You", "Never Gonna Give You Up", and "One Night Affair". (Blue label pressing. Cover has some wear, small splits on the top seam and spine, and some staining on the back.)  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
