Junior Wells —
Coming At You ... LP Vanguard, 1968. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
A great early album from Junior Wells – and one that really opens up that more soulful side of his talents that was becoming a Chicago hallmark at the time!

Motown, 1964. Good ... $14.99

A&M, 1989. Used ... $5.99
The title's got it right – because the Man is definitely back, although in a completely different way than before!

Soul Tay Shus/Tuff City, 1970s. New Copy ... $18.99
Rare 70s funk from Andre Williams – one of the maddest funky artists of all time! These tunes are quite different from Andre's raw R&B of the 50s, and his funky 45s of the 60s – more in a tight ensemble groove, with a P-Funky approach that has weird vocals colliding with heavy ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
EMI (Japan), 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $46.99
Finnish soul, by an American singer – not the same Charles Williams that you might know from 70s jazz funk albums – but an even earlier talent, really shining brightly here in a soulful Scandinavian setting!

Deniece Williams —
This Is Niecy ... LP Columbia, 1976. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
Genius work from Denice Williams – a singer who'd cracked the charts a bit as Denice Chandler, with a little girl soul sound, way back in the 60s – but who's grown up considerably by this essential 70s set!
