Righteous soul, and the only record ever cut by
East Coast – a group led by Larry Blackmon
of later Cameo fame – and featuring vocals from a young Gwen Guthrie – heard here for the first time on LP, long before her later hits! The style is very hip – a mixture
of funk and progressive grooving, all held together with a sound that's young, proud, and which moves easily between influences from a number
of different camps. In a way, the group's almost a cross between early Earth Wind & Fire and The
Voices Of East Harlem – with a style that's got some nicely soulful jazz elements, but served up with a dose
of sweeter soul. Gregory Johnson plays some great keyboards on the set, and titles include "I've Got To Reclaim You", "Something Deep Inside", "Any Thing You Have In Mind", "Miss Gigi", "Keep On Trying", "I Found You", and "You Can't Let It Get You Down".
