Nancy Wilson —
Life, Love & Harmony ... LP 
Capitol, 1979. Very Good+ ... $2.99
A killer from Nancy – very different than most of her earlier work, and proof that she was still growing as an artist on Capitol!

Great work from an overlooked 80s group – one who mixes moogy keyboards with a warmer soul vibe – all in a style that's totally sweet! Windjammer have a lot more warmth than some of their contemporaries – a sound that's deep in older soul touches from the 70s – classy club ... read more CD
MCA/Finesse (UK), 1985. New Copy ... $11.99 12.98
Windjammer were one of the few 80s soul groups to ever sport a nautical theme – but their music is every big as great on dry land, and served up with a tight, bouncy groove that really stands out from most of the mainstream pack at the time!

Ovation, 1976. Very Good ... $2.99
Modern electric blues from Chicago, featuring Mighty Joe on guitar and vocals, plus backing by a tight rocking band. There's some electric keyboards in the group, which gives it less of a rootsy sound than you'd expect – but the album's still pretty spare. Titles include "Takes ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Gordy, 1985. Near Mint- ... $7.99
A lost little gem from the Rick James camp – a bit obscure, despite the fact that Val's a former Bride Of Funkenstein! Val's not as well known as some of the other artists that Rick James worked with back in the 80s – but given her resume, she's got a solidly soulful sound that works ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes the lyric sleeve. Cover has a cutout notch.)
Brunswick, 1980. Very Good ... $0.99
An excellent groover from the late Brunswick years – and the standout classic from this youthful club ensemble! The track's got a great snapping groove that's almost in the rollerskating mode – guitars riffing along with the groove, and vocals falling right into place with an ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record
Brunswick/Edsel (UK), Late 60s. Used ... $16.99
Fantastic work from one of the funkiest rhythm sections ever – the team of bassist Eldee Young and drummer Isaac Redd Holt! Young and Holt first came to fame working with Ramsey Lewis on a string of classic Chicago soul jazz outings for Chess – but by the mid 60s, the duo took off on ... read more CD

Jazzman (UK), Late 50s/Early 60s. New Copy ... $8.99
Solid sounds from Young Jessie – a onetime member of the famous Flairs, but a hell of a singer on his own! Jessie's got a raw power here that lives up to the best of the 50s R&B scene in California – and the set features work that the singer recorded for Capitol, Modern, Mercury, ... read more CD

Brunswick/Demon (UK), 1966. New Copy (reissue)... $18.99
Amazing stuff from bassist Eldee Young and drummer Isaac "Red" Holt!

Brunswick, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $7.99
A funky soul instrumental classic – all the way through! The team of Eldee Young and Redd Holt first came to prominence with Ramsey Lewis' first Chicago trio, then branched out on their own as a jazz act – but by the time of this set, they'd picked up a hipper, funkier late 60s sort of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Paula, 1973. New Copy (reissue)... $9.99
Fantastic! Young and Holt lay down a monster set of grooves from Curtis Mayfield's Superfly soundtrack (all the good ones – like "Freddie's Dead", "Give Me Your Love", "Pusher Man", and "Superfly"), and they also get into some funky tracks of their own ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
20th Century, 1974. Very Good ... $0.99
Standout work from The Younghearts – one of the best harmony soul groups of the 70s to record away from the east coast. The group's vocals are the strongest thing about the record – but they get a great extra push from Vernon Bullock, who produced and conducted the record with a nice ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some wear and a name in pen.)
Mercury, Early 60s. Very Good ... $4.99
Amazing is right! Timi's one of the great under-rated Uptown Soul talents of the 60s, and this is one of her best records. The album features stunning production, in the best Mercury pop soul style of the 60s – with Quincy Jones at the controls, and Bobby Scott arranging and conducting. ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Later Mercury/Wing pressing in the large photo cover.)
Liberty, Mid 60s. Very Good+ ... $6.99
Soulful sounds produced by the great Clyde Otis! LP, Vinyl record album
