Notes

Back cover incorrectly mentions twice the The Notations 'Take It Slow' track (second time as track 9) and consequently has 13 tracks instead of 12.

I especially purchased this for track 1, Kellee Patterson's cover of Barry White's 'I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little Bit More, Baby'. Arguably this contains the funkiest, most sensual and most teasing first minute on the funkier side of soul music. The whole track outstands Barry's original - given his amount of funk and smoochiness, that's quite an achievement. Sadly, these days this track is not that easy to find on CD, and purchasing the whole album ('Kellee') on CD is nearly impossible. Of course, there are still 11 tracks left, and they are exactly what the title states : a recommended collection of smoochy, funky, finely matured soul beauties. Hard to pick some, but other highlights include Al Johnson's 'I've Got My Second Wind' and the ever fantastic Betty Wright's 'Value Your Love'. A very solid release from a label to hold an eye on.
