    One of my favorite soul LPs ever, bar none. Tough as nails to find too.

    He was heavily involved in that devilishly raer Reflections LP I got from you awhile back.

    Also provided backing vocals on Ralfi Pagan's I Can See LP.

    His second LP has one really great track on it.




    is it the reflections lp on capitol?

    btw "everything i want i see in you" is my personal favorite song on the bailey album, it sounds like a lamont dozier arrangement.


    and as af as the "love,love,love" battle, hathaway takes the title with ease, imo of course.

    Sounds like a rich[/b] man's Gaye.

    MJ Kirkland is another great 'poor man's Gaye' for the fat-walleted.

    Bailey did a lot of behind the scenes work if I'm not mistaken - he wrote and produced most of this LP too?

    The one with "She's My Summer Breeze"? Or another one by theM?

    Yeah, Love on Delivery--he produced it and wrote at least four tracks, including "She's My Summer Breeze".

    I'd put J.J. Barnes and Lee Rogers in that bag too, except for the fact that all three were based in Detroit around the same time, so I'll cut 'em some slack - the similarities were probably just "in the air."

    The vocals and the lyrics are part of what makes that cut so good (dig that TITLE!), so an instrumental version would be missing the point.

    Ha, I LOVE that song but never bothered to read the credits.

    Gotta thank PeacefulRo for putting me up on it. One of my summertime faves, for certain.

    (I got an extra one of these LPs too. Holla!)
