Excellent later album by the Dells that has them working with Don Davis on production, and singing in an excellent smooth soul setting that still lets their raspy soulful harmonies shine through, but which also gives them some excellent seventies grooves in the background.

Love Childs Afro-Cuban Blues Band —
Spandisco ... LP Midsong, 1977. Very Good+ ...
$3.99
Although the group was neither an Afro-Cuban ensemble, nor a blues band, they certainly earn the "Spandisco" title of this one – an album filled with longer club tracks arranged and produced by Michael Zager.

Pointer Sisters —
Break Out ... LP Planet, 1983. Very Good+ ...

An overlooked moment of 70s genius from The Supremes – and from the great Jimmy Webb as well – given that the pop studio genius wrote, arranged, and produced the entire album!

The last album ever from the amazing Minnie Riperton – and one of her greatest records as well!

Roberta Flack still sounding great in the early 80s – co-produced with Ralph MacDonald, William Eaton, and William Salter – who all give the record a nice jazzy finish!

An interesting 70s session from Jimmy – rougher and rootsier than most of his jazz-inflected 60s recordings, in a style that was clearly trying to cross him over to the college kids who were buying so much blues at the time!

Totally commercial pop disco, but still a roller rink classic! The snob side of us never gave much time to these sort of albums, but there's an appeal to it we can't deny, even if it is just kind of nostalgic. Ear candy, but you could do a lot worse. With the huge hit title track, plus "Ligh ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

The first of John Anderson's albums recorded under his alter ego of Kasandra – and quite possibly the best!

Clarence Carter —
Dr CC ... LP Ichiban, 1986. Very Good ...

Strong mid 70s work from Jimmy – bouncing back with a tight little groover, the title cut of this one, which has a soaring soulful approach that's right up there with the best of mid 70s New York.

Richie Havens is way past the folksy mode of his roots by this point – working in a set of smooth arrangements by William Smitty Smith and Booker T – a style that mixes electric touches with Havens' still-raspy vocals, an approach that's a bit like that used on some of Bill Withers ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Quite an unusual album for Dionne Warwick – a late 60s effort that has her returning to her gospel roots, and singing with backing from The Drinkard Sisters – a group originally founded by Dionne's mother, and which featured a young Cissy Houston!
