'80 ... LP Chi Sound/20th Century, 1980. Sealed ...
$5.99
A nice record of modern soul that got a bit overlooked at the time because of the poor fate of the Chi-Sound label. The record's filled with Chicago soul talent like Tom Tom 84, Sonny Sanders, and Carl Davis, and it's a good updating of Gene's Chicago soul sound towards a style that's more modern ...

2 great later gems from The Dells – both essential sides of their later catalog!

The last studio album from Chicago soul legend Walter Jackson – recorded shortly before his untimely death, and offered posthumously as a loving "portrait" to his talents, with a special message on the back written by Jesse Jackson!
