Summer o Love

Back To Love celebrates the finest club classics that paved the way for a whole generation of music lovers. With a 90s revival in full swing and the sounds of the 80s still influencing new music, it's always time to wipe the dust off the 80s and 90s records we once loved. This album will bring back memories of legendary soul-infused house and hip hop anthems. Including vocally dominated anthems from Incognito & Jocelyn Brown, Degrees of Motion and Donna Summer as well as house classics from Nightcrawlers and Ultra Naté, Back To Love represents hip hop and house with the likes of Jungle Brothers, A Tribe Called Quest and DJ EZ Rock.

With the exception of the title cut on the first album, Those Were The Days (which is given a rather stodgy treatment), this CD is vintage Percy Faith. The second LP, Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet, came out in 1969, when Faith's new sound of orchestra with female chorus had just hit its stride. The trademark harpsichord is there, too. I had this album on LP when I was eight years old, and am pleased to discover that it is absolutely delightful all these years later. The two tunes from Hair are highlights of the album, brimming with energy and delicacy at the same time. Faith also commemorates the tenth anniversary of his big instrumental hit, Theme from A Summer Place, by writing a new version with female chorus. It doesn't displace memories of the original, but it is a welcome piece on this album. If you like your '60's music in a form that is evergreen, this Percy Faith CD is for you.
