Flaming Starr (with bonus tracks)
CD (Item 578695) RCA/FTG, 1980 — Condition: New Copy
A killer debut set from Maurice Starr – probably best known for his later efforts as a talent scout and producer, but a surprisingly great soul artist on his own! As you might guess from the spacey jumpsuit on the cover, there's a nice dose of early 80s funk in the set – further enforced by the album's heavy collaboration with Michael Jonzun, who co-wrote and produced the whole thing too! Tunes are surprisingly catchy and well put-together – often with a fair bit of live instrumentation, but some sweet electro touches too – a great mix that warms things up way more than you might expect. There's even a few nice mellower moments which round things out strongly – and cuts include "In My Life", "Moving On Up", "I Wanna Dance With You", "Come See Me Sometime", "Start All Over", "Dance To The Funky Groove", and "When I Say I Love You". CD features 4 bonus tracks, too – "Bout Time I Funk U (12" version)", "Baby Come On (12" version)", "When I Say I Love You (7" version)", and "Dance To The Funky Groove (12" version)". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
