✨✧ Ronnie FosterMidnight Plane/Nassau Day ... 12-inch
Columbia, 1978. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
2 great numbers from Ronnie's Love Satellite LP. "Midnight Plane"s a great slow-building tune from Ronnie – one that's a bit more soul-oriented than some of his jazzier tunes from the Columbia years, but in a great way! The tune begins with a lyric over most of the rhythm – ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Pretty great stuff by Aretha – despite what the pro-Atlantic Records books say!
