Jody’s Private Luxury - Jody’s Private Luxury (1985) (LP) - €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

Jody Pijper zelf zijn we natuurlijk niet vergeten. Zij was en is Nederlands bekendste achtergrondzangeres en projectvocaliste. Van Stars on 45 tot Jody's Singers en van Rainbow Train tot Cashmere. De laatste groep vormde ze met zanger Peter Hollestelle, en ze hadden in '79 een grote hit met Love's what I want.

Halverwege de jaren tachtig trad ze op met een eigen band, en die band nam deze plaat op. Veel covers, maar Jody Pijper blijkt toch wel gezegend met een dusdanig rasperig en apart stemgeluid dat ze vele stijlen aankan. 

Hier profileert ze zich als een Nederlandse Bonnie Raitt, en dat gaat haar goed af. 

Jammer dat ze nooit in dit spoor verder is gegaan. Maar ja, de plaat, uitgebracht op een piepklein labeltje, zonk in commercieel opzicht dan ook als een baksteen.

Ze put, zoals hierboven al gememoreerd, ook uit eigen repertoire dat ze eerder opnam. Maar de nieuwe versie van Berlinetta, dat de plaat opent, vind ik eigenlijk nog het sterkste nummer van deze LP. Mocht je het album tegenkomen in de tweedehandsbakken, aarzel niet en koop hem.

Er staan veel covers op, waaronder "Private luxury", "Tumblin' dice" en "You've been in love too long". 

Daarbuiten heeft ze ook uit haar eigen repertoire gevist om deze nog eens op plaat te zetten; "Berlinetta" bracht ze - in een andere versie" in 1982 al als "Jody Myles" uit als single, en "Stop" verscheen al als solosingletje van Jody in 1983 (in dezelfde versie als op deze LP), en was oorspronkelijk een nummer van haar groepje Cashmere.

Gerard Kenny - Made It Thru The Rain (1979) LP - €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

Gerard Kenny (born Gerard W. Kenny, July 8, 1947, New York) is a popular music singer-songwriter.

Kenny formed his first band whilst in high school and between then and the early 1970s, he toured the club circuit. 

In 1968 he landed his first recording contract with Warner Bros. Records, and from that point until 1977 issued a number of singles that failed to break the charts. 

He also recorded for Buddah and Laurie, one of the singles on the latter titled “happiest man” is now very collectable, selling for up to £200.

It was not until 1978 after moving to England that he scored his first hit single with “New York, New York (So Good They Named It Twice)” (an ode to his hometown), which spent two months in the UK Singles Chart, with its parent album  "Made It Thru The Rain" going Top 20 the following year. 

Another single on the RCA record label, “Fantasy”, proved to be another chart hit in 1980. On the same year, he released an album, Living On Music, exclusively in the Philippines. 

Its lead single “Getting To Know Each Other” became a hit in local radio stations and was featured as a soundtrack in several movies and TV shows within the country. It was later covered by local artist Ariel Rivera. 

His composition “I Could Be So Good For You” was recorded by Dennis Waterman for the theme tune of the ITV series Minder and became a Top 10 hit single in the United Kingdom during 1980. It also gained an Ivor Novello Award for Kenny. 

In 1983, he began to work with Alan Jay Lerner on a musical adaption of My Man Godfrey, but Lerner died before it could be completed. 

However, two of the song the pair had composed for this musical, namely “I’ve Been Married” and “Some People”, later appeared on Kenny’s album “The Time Between The Time” a decade later. In 1985, after moving to WEA, Kenny charted in the UK with another theme song, “No Man’s Land”, from the ITV drama series Widows.

Since then Kenny has continued to record and release music periodically. His songs have been recorded by Barry Manilow, Johnny Mathis, Perry Como, Jack Jones, Marion Montgomery, Sacha Distel, James Last and Shirley Bassey, who recorded a song that he co-wrote with Lynsey de Paul, called “There’s No Place Like London”

Angela Bofill - Too Tough (1983) (LP) - €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

Too Tough is the fourth studio album by the recording artist Angela Bofill, released on January 2, 1983. 

This was her second release through Arista Records, with Narada Michael Walden again serving as joint music producer.

"Too Tough" is very enjoyable Pop/Soul album that's not that marred by early 80's production standards as her next LP "Teaser". Songs like "Accept Me (I'm Not a Girl Anymore)" or "I Can See It In Your Eyes" are perfect Quiet Storm ballads and show Angela Bofill's incomparable vocal talents. 

Even danceable title track (the biggest hit off of the album) may be pleasant surprise for some listeners. It's not groundbreaking music but who said that only groundbreaking music can be satisfying?

With the release of Too Tough Angela Bofill shows yet again what a great vocalist she is. Her phrasing is immaculate. She is a charismatic performer her voice is sassy and sweet. Ideal for the material she has to work with. 

She adds that extra human element that eighties R&B music needs. 

The musicians, including future Prince collaborator Sheila Escovedo, provide great backing. Particularly on the gorgeous 'Tonight I Give in' where the nuanced musicianship supports Angela Bofill's wonderful voice rather than fighting for attention.

This is some of the best stuff Angela Bofill recorded up to this point in her career. The contemporary eighties production doesn't distract. The more uptempo tracks really work well and of course the ballads really let Angela Bofill shine.

Too Tough combines the past jazz influences with pop, I Can See It In Your Eyes & Rainbow Inside My Heart to pure pop remake Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing duet with Boz Scaggs. 

Her ballads were becoming her strong point with songs like her hit Tonight I Give In and the gorgeous Accept Me (I'm Not A Girl Anymore). The title track is the only dance track though Love You Too Much reminds me of her previous hit Something About You.

Smokey Robinson - Yes It´s You Lady (1982) (LP) - €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

Yes It's You Lady is a 1982 album by American singer Smokey Robinson. As with 1981's Being with You, it was produced by George Tobin in association with Mike Piccirillo and recorded and mixed at Studio Sound Recorders, North Hollywood, California. It was released on the Motown sub-label Tamla.

Surprisingly, having scored his biggest solo success with the self-penned, self-produced Being with You, Smokey Robinson turned to an outside producer and outside writers for the followup. 

Both of the singles from Yes It's You Lady, which was produced by George Tobin, "Tell Me Tomorrow" (number three R&B, number 33 Pop) and "Old Fashioned Love" (number 17 R&B, number 60 Pop) were mid-tempo rhythm numbers written by Gary Goetzman and Mike Piccirillo. 

Robinson's own compositions, notably the title track, which would have made a perfect follow-up to "Being with You," were de-emphasized. The result was a retreat from the careful career-building Robinson had been engaged in since 1979; the album peaked at only number 33 after three straight Top 20 LPs. 

It was as though, having established himself as a solo voice, Robinson was now content to be "Cruisin'."

George Benson - 20/20 (1985) (LP) - €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

20/20 is a studio album by George Benson, released on the Warner Bros. record label in 1985. The lead single by the same name reached #48 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album was certified Gold by the RIAA. 

"You Are the Love of My Life" is a duet with Roberta Flack. 

It was one of a number of songs used for Eden Capwell and Cruz Castillo on the American soap opera Santa Barbara. 

 Also included on 20/20 is the original version of the song "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love for You" which would later become a smash hit for Hawaiian singer Glenn Medeiros.

George Benson certainly is a good soul vocalist, fervently turning every phrase as if he meant every lovelorn syllable. Here on 20/20, though, he is shackled by stale pop/soul sentiments and one hack arrangement after another, assembled in no less than 17 studios! Russ Titelman, who shows only a flickering awareness of Benson's huge talent, is the producer, spelled twice by the even more commercial Michael Masser. 

The only bright spots are the tense high-tech title track and -- surprise -- an elegant Count Basie-like treatment of "Beyond the Sea," and with several jazz luminaries in the all-star band and Frank Foster and Ralph Burns handling the chart.  There's only one instrumental, "Stand Up," and it ain't much.

Songwriters on the album include: Clif Magness, Mark Mueller, Tom Keane, James Newton Howard, Steve Lukather, Cruz Sembello, Daniel Sembello, Jon Sembello, Michael Sembello, Michael Masser, Gerry Goffin, Charles Trenet, Jack Lawrence, Cecil Womack, Linda Womack, Randy Goodrum, Steve Kipner, Neil Larsen, and Linda Creed.
