Apologies for the long delay since our last post, we've been very busy preparing some of our back catalogue for uploading.....
....expect classic albums from Phillip Leo, Nerious Joseph and Glen Brown as well as Various Artists compilations such as Jamaica's Finest and Raw Groove ......
.... and the next album in the 'Significant Hits' series!
Volume 3 of 'Fashion In Fine Style' will be released in the summer....
But first .....
Because of technical
problems, we have had to reload the Feelings Of Love album by Michael Gordon…..
so we thought we’d tell you about it all over again…
In the early 80’s
Michael was the lead singer for the legendary Investigators, South London’s top
purveyors of Lovers Rock, writing and singing on classic tracks such as Turn
Out The Light, Love Is What You Make It and Woman I Need Your Loving.
At the height of their
success in 1986 he left the band to embark on a solo career and signed to the
local Battersea-based Fashion label, and soon had a huge reggae hit with his
debut release, Love Is In The Air.
This success marked
the beginning of a new era in Michael’s career as his songwriting and arranging
skills blossomed, resulting in more hit singles and, in the following year, his
first album which was a collection of original songs including all of his hits
and a reprise of Turn Out The Light.
The album was a best
seller, showcasing Michael’s unique and elegant style, and featured many of the
UK’s top reggae session musicians, including such luminaries as Angus and Tony
from Aswad, Clifton ‘Bigga’ Morrison, Ciyo Brown, Mike ‘Bammy’ Rose as well as
former members of the Investigators (Ian ‘Spy’ Austin and Reg Graham), Errol
and Ewan Robinson (from One Blood)
and a young Leroy ‘Mafia’ Heywood.
Feelings Of Love
remains one of the classic Lovers Rock albums and still sounds as fresh and
sophisticated as it did nearly thirty years ago!
Feelings Of Love is
available on iTunes, Amazon, etc ….
