Epic, 1979. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99 26.98
Michael, if only you'd stayed at this level! This 1979 solo album by Michael is a killer batch of soul grooves – one of his best moments ever, and a crowning cap to a stellar 70s run – both as a younger solo act, and with the whole Jackson family! Quincy Jones produced, and the album's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Michael Jackson —
Thriller ... LP Epic, 1982. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $24.99
Arguably the last true moment of genius in Michael Jackson's career – a record that sold a bazillion copies around the world – and for plenty good reason! Michael's still working here with Quincy Jones – in territory that steps nicely from the Off The Wall groove, into territory ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Millie Jackson —
I Got To Try It One Time ... LP Spring, 1974. Near Mint- ... $14.99
One of Millie's great early Spring LPs, with a deep hard soul sound that she never matched on later releases. Despite claim of the big hit on here "I Got To Try It One Time", Millie sounds like she's tried it a lot more than that, and you can hear the proof on tracks like "My Love ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Jive, 1986. Used ... $19.99
Sweet 80s groove from Millie Jackson – a set that's got a very different vibe than her famous southern soul work of the 70s – but one that still has the singer very much at the top of her game! The backgrounds are a bit more electric than before – especially the rhythms – ... read more CD
(Out of print.)
Spring, 1973. Very Good+ ... $39.99
An excellent early album from Millie Jackson – recorded in a southern soul style in New York and Muscle Shoals, but a lot hipper than most of the rest of the female soul that was coming out of the south at the time. For one thing, Millie was a bad mamma singer – rapping hard and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Chi Sound, 1977. Very Good ... $2.99
It's an unfortunate fact that within a few years of stating the reincarnation-oriented title of this record, Walter would sadly have passed away, making the issue of "coming back as a song" even more pertinent. This record's one of his best of the Chisound years – and features a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Okeh, 1964. Very Good+ ... $16.99

Queen of Soul is right!

A jamming little project from dancefloor maestro Richie Weeks – early 80s club tracks, done with a sweetly soulful approach!
