Billy Stewart Teaches Old Standards New Tricks

Billy Stewart

Out Of Stock

LP (Item 2936) Chess, 1966 — Condition: Used

This was the follow-up LP to Billy Stewart's huge single of Gershwin's "Summertime", and it's got a similar approach of "funky soul takes on American pop music standards". "Summertime" isn't on the album, but all the tracks have a sound that falls in the same mode – with fantastic vocal pyrotechnics from Billy, and tight arrangements by Phil Wright that both groove hard, but have a sophisticated classy edge. Titles include "Temptation", "Who Can I Turn To", "Let's Fall In Love", "Exodus", "Fly Me to the Moon", and "Secret Love". Also includes a great version of "Every Day I Have the Blues", with a nice hard funky drum intro! (Blue label mono pressing. Cover has a two small cutout holes.) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
