Product Description
Content Introduction "Here are some rare recordings of Thelma Houston made in Muscle Shoals. In addition to a cover of a Robert Byrne classic, Thelma sings these great tracks with her supple voice, including "Summer Nights," a killer tune by BAMA, a group known to those in the rare groove scene, and previously covered by Marine with Seawind." - Toshikazu Kanazawa Thelma Houston x Muscle Shoals! Unreleased recordings (1980) by Thelma, popular for her Motown works such as the hit song "Don't Leave Me This Way" and her activities as the disco queen of the 80s, have been unearthed and are now being released as a 5-track EP exclusively in Japan! The two biggest killers on this release are the title track, a mellow summer groove with a tropical flavor, and "No Love In The Morning," a classic by Robert Byrne (Byrne & Burns) that is familiar to AOR fans. However, the remaining three tracks?"Slippin' Up, Slippin' Around" with its tight funk groove, and "Touch Me While I'm Dancing" and "Regrets" with their soothing, loving vocals?are also superb, making it surprising that such high-quality recordings have remained unreleased until now. Similar to the James Walsh Gypsy Band's "I've Got the Feelin'," a superb unearthed Muscle Shoals recording that premiered worldwide in 2016 and became a hit, this album is sure to generate even more buzz among soul and AOR fans!
