Sam Dees is well known in the soul music fraternity, in fact to many he is an icon of deep soul. whilst his composer credits are well documented, there has never been an abundance of Sam Dees recorded material. So in unearthing 10 tracks never before released by the man, this CD must bring joy to the souls of all who love the very unique vocalising and musically / lyrically soul drenched tunes he creates. Only 500 pressed, very rare & hard to find gem.
In the 1990s two critically acclaimed and massively popular CDs by the great singer/songwriter Sam Dees. These were sourced from his work as a recording artist and songwriter for Clinton Moon's Showtime Productions based in Birmingham, Alabama. Some were demos and some finished masters, possibly recorded for a second album following the one released on Atlantic in 1975. More tapes of equivalent quality from this period have come to light and these are included with some tracks which only made it onto compilation CDs at the time, his Clintone 45 release, and a couple of alternate takes from The Show Must Go On LP to make the third and final release from this creative and productive era.
Very rare and hard to find Japan release of Sam Dees album Secret Admirer, original released on Pen Pad PP1005, feature 14 supreme soul cuts, a must for any soul fan.
More than Afros and bell-bottoms, the 1970s pushed music and music-lovers onto a new plane. Fasten your seat belts and enjoy the ride.
