Music Speaks Louder Than Words ... LP Warner, 1977. Very Good+ ... $5.99
A lost bit of mid 70s soul from Candi – an album that's often eclipsed by the Young Hearts hit before it, but which actually comes across stronger than that one!

Lena Horne —
Stormy Weather ... LP RCA, 1957. Very Good ... $4.99
One of Lena Horne's greatest albums of the 50s – a rock-solid effort that takes its name from her famous film appearance of the 40s, but which features some wonderfully sophisticated songs in a very postwar mode! As with other RCA dates of the time, the orchestra's handled by Lena's partner ... (Vocalists) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Lou Rawls —
Tobacco Road ... LP Capitol, 1963. Very Good ... $2.99
A real breakthrough for Lou – a set that again paired him with arranger Onzy Matthews, and which even more deeply explored the unique space between jazz, soul, and the blues that became Rawls' prime territory back in the 60s! Matthews' backings are hip and jazzy throughout – filled ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Jimmy Smith —
Hobo Flats ... LP Verve, 1963. Very Good Gatefold ... $2.99
A mighty pairing of Jimmy Smith and Oliver Nelson – one that has the heavy Hammond of Smith set up in some sparkling jazz backdrops from Nelson!

Nancy Wilson —
Nancy – Naturally ... LP Capitol, Late 60s. Very Good ... $2.99
A great one from Nancy Wilson – a set that has the singer working with full arrangements from Billy May, who's got this surprisingly subtle approach at times that works really well with the soulful currents in Nancy's vocals! The approach is almost more like Oliver Nelson, especially with ... (Vocalists) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Billy Larkin & the Delegates —
Don't Stop ... LP World Pacific/Liberty, Mid 60s. Very Good ... $3.99
Tight funky organ work from Billy Larkin and his hard-swingin Delegates combo! This stuff was the west coast equivalent of New Jersey organ combos – and you can bet your bippy that Billy & Co were blasting loud out of every jukebox on Central Ave during the 60s. This album's still got ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

David T Walker —
Going Up! ... LP Revue, Late 60s. Very Good ... $4.99
A great bit of jazzy soul from guitarist David T Walker – one of the first albums he cut under his own name, after dozens of famous sessions for other artists! The orchestrations have a sweet large late 60s LA feel – with David soloing over the top in a tight style that has lots of ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
