Marvin Gaye – Soon I’ll Be Loving You Again

Going retro psyche for this week’s song of the week.

Recently been hearing to Marvin Gaye’s 1976 album I Want You and the song getting constant quantity replay is this one, Soon I’ll Be Loving You Again. I love everything about this record and want to know where it’s been concealment the last years of my life!

Everything about it, the lyrics, the way it builds, the way Marvin seems to ad-lib over the whole record, the horns… this is everything I love about great psyche music from the seventies.

Enjoy, enjoy again… then enjoy a couple more times.

Stevie woods – Take Me To Your Shangri-la (1981)

Carol — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 22:08:00 +0000

Take Me To Your Heaven .
Review:
The first album from Stevie Woods, and one of just . few record ever by the early eighty psyche groover as a headliner! It’s made up of Henry Sweet mid tempo cuts, slightly spacier key & percussion flavored numbers, slow jam with string accent and more – really Nice stuff all around! Stevie’s a charismatic singer, and this is well tailored, nicely produced and easygoing work We’re surprised Stevie didn’t have more years in the limelight! Includes “Fly Away”, “Just Can’t win ‘Em All”, “Take Me To Your Heaven”, “Steal The Night”, “Through The Years”, “Wanna Be Close To You”, “Read Between The Lines”, “Throw A Little spot Of Love My Way” and “Gotcha”..
Tracks:

shadow – shadow (1980)

Shadow
Bio:
Shadow spun off from the OH Players around 1979 and hung around long enough to record three albums. Their individuality was shrouded in mystery, James “Diamond” Hiram King Hiram King Williams , William “Billy” beck , and Chet Thomas Thomas Willis were seemingly the briny members. Other instrumentalist supplemented the trine in the studio; live, their card resembled the OH Players. Their first LP, Love Life, surfaced on Elektra record in 1979 and featured song composed by Williams, Beck, and Thomas Willis the three shared production recognition with Don Mizell. Ironically, Hiram King Williams and beck supposedly didn’t play on Love Life, the only credited player is Willis. A press release from Elektra states: “Who are the player on ‘Love Lite’? Only shadow knows!”
The player were in fact Daniel Zazurus , Kenneth Williams, Diamond’s blood brother , Henry Martyn Robert Bryant, Garnett Brown, Ernie Fields, Delbert Taylor, Azar Lawrence, and Fred Wesley Elektra marketed two singles from the LP: “I Need Love” which charted at number 77, and “No Better Love” which soared five slot better at number 72. A second LP, Shadow, emerged a year later with Leon ware producing. Again the actual player remain a mystery — no credits Like the first set, the group wrote the bulk of the numbers, often with Ware credited as co-writer. A single release, “Mystery Dancer,” at number 68, obtained a higher chart position than their two previous singles It may have done better if the phonograph record jockey hadn’t flipped it, the B-side, “Hot City,” charted two months later at number 75. The final shadow album, shadow in the Street, sealed their destiny No hit charted from this collection produced by Leon Ware. In fact, shadow never really got off like Williams, Beck, and Thomas Willis had anticipated, the singles that charted were nothing compared to what they enjoyed with the OH Players. Accustomed to much more, and possibly spoiled by previous success, shadow disbanded. Whether they called it quits, or Elektra pulled the plugged, no more shadow album dropped, and Williams and Thomas Willis eventually gravitated back to the revamped OH Players; beck pursued other opportunities.
Tracks:
01. secret Dancer
02. I Can’t Keep keeping Back
03. Hot City
04. You Can Do It
05. Can You Keep Up
06. Sweet Movin’
07. Beyond The coating Line
