CD (Item 628329) Columbia/Soulmusic.com (UK), 1977 — Condition: New Copy

The Miracles move to Columbia Records – and pick up a whole new groove in the process – a much richer sound than previous records on Motown, with a soaring style that really works great for the harmonies! Billy Griffin's vocals are really coming into their own – as is his songwriting, too – evidenced by some of the more complicated elements in the mix, and the blend of full arrangements and tight rhythms that almost have a Philly feel overall! The change is a great one for the group – and not only helps them beat some of their best late Motown moments, but also points the way towards a heck of a lot of 80s soul too. Titles include "Too Young", "The Bird Must Fly Away", "Love Crazy", "Spy For Brotherhood", "A Better Way To Life", "Women", and the Isley-like "I Can Touch The Sky". CD features three bonus tracks – "Spy For The Brotherhood (single)", "Spy For The Brotherhood (special version)", and "Women (single)".  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
