Take March

Harry Ray, Al Goodman and Billy Brown previously recorded as The Moments, their Stateside hits including “Love On A Two-Way Street”, Sexy Mama” and “Look At Me”. Here in the UK they made Top 10 in the national charts with “Girls” and “Dolly My Love” while the soul scene still spin their 1976 single “Nine Times”, another record for Sylvia Robinson’s Stang label before the group’s name transition to Ray, Goodman & Brown in 1978 for contractual reasons. The Moments had included prior members since forming in Washington in the 1960, but when Sylvia’s Sugarhill label was on a roll, Harry Ray would also record briefly as a solo artist, “Love Is A Game” being the song from that period he is best remembered for.

Aretha Franklin has simply been one of the greatest singers of the modern generation, and whether bringing her powerful, passionate voice to bear on gospel standards, songs from the Great American Songbook, jazz standards, pop ditties, or deep Southern soul and R&B, she has always had the presence – much like Ray Charles – to make anything she touches unmistakably hers. Franklin began her career in gospel when she was still a teenager, and her amazing vocal talents, coupled with her fine piano playing, marked her as a once-in-a-lifetime kind of artist, qualities very apparent to legendary talent scout John Hammond, who signed her to Columbia Records.

Faces live at the L.A. Forum, Inglewood, CA, 5th March 1975.

After just over two years since their No.1 album ‘III’, Take That announce their eighth studio album ‘Wonderland’. Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen have also worked with renowned producers Tony Hoffer (Beck, Supergrass, Goldfrapp), Stuart Price (Madonna, The Killers, Gwen Stefani) and Mark Crossy (Arctic Monkeys, The Gaslight Anthem) on ‘Wonderland’. This will be their second album as a three-piece in the latest chapter of the group’s amazing history.

These two Ray Goodman and Brown albums date from mid to late 80’s and have the production style of that era. Take it to the limit from 86 contains the late boogie track ‘Why must I Wait’, whilst ‘Mood for Lovin’ from 88 has some nice 2-step grooves ‘Where did you get the love’ and ‘Mood for Lovin’, and the uptempo ‘Electrified’..
