De-Lite/Solid (Japan), 1977. New Copy ... Out Of Stock

A funky soul band with a bit of a clubby groove – and one that features some great male harmony vocals behind lead singer Jann Harrison! Harrison's got a very light style of singing – almost soprano at points, which makes the male voices especially welcome – as they help ground ... read more CD
