45 SPOTLIGHT: Jackie Shane "Comin' Down" (Sue 788)

Click on the label and listen
the fabolous, the flamboyante, the effeminate
Jackie Shane!

Lounge singer Jackie Shane was considered very risquè during the more subdued Toronto club era of the early 1960's. As a black androgynous soul singer, often backed by Frank Motley And The Hitchhikers (featuring saxophonist King Herbert) at the Sapphire Club, Shane commanded overflow crowds as much for his silky smooth voice as for his flamboyant effeminate stage persona. With constant club engagements throughout Canada and parts of the US as far away as California and Hawaii, Shane was able to release his one and only hit record, "Any Other Way", in April 1963. The song reached No. 2 in Canada and sustained itself on the charts for 9 consecutive weeks. To capitalize on his popularity he also recorded a live album but by the late 1960's drifted into obscurity. Many rumours have circulated over the years about his untimely death but none have ever been confirmed. Shane's whereabouts is unknown.

45 SPOTLIGHT: Bill Pinkney "I Do The Jerk" - "Don't Call Me"

Click on the labels to listen the tunes!

This is a great doublesider!
Bill Pinkney, one of the Drifters, recorded in 1964 this Fontana single produced by The Godfather of Soul Mr.James Brown.

STR001 HECTOR RIVERA - "I WANT A CHANCE FOR ROMANCE"



Soulful Torino Records new born label from SOULFUL and Record kicks indipendent rare groovelabel from Milan join their forces to reissue the giant latin soul hit "I WANT A CHANCE FOR ROMANCE" by latin legend HECTOR RIVERA. The track was originally recorded back in 1967 and it's probably the most infectious latin soul monster ever recorded. The keyboardist, arranger and composer Hector Rivera like the more famed Pucho & the Latin Soul Brothers, Ray Barretto and Joe Bataan, was one of the most renowned performers of the Latin BOOGALOO era. His biggest hit was "At the party" which became very popular at the end of the 60s. " I Want a chance for romance" was released in the same period and has been a massive spin on all soul, mod and deep funk dancefloors for over 30 years. On the B side, for the first time on 7", the groovy instrumental version.

USE IT BEFORE YOU LOSE IT!


Jazzman Records:Easily one the best latin dance tracks ever made and a VERY welcome reissue because the original is impossible to find, even if you're loaded. Superb latin soul from the late '60s and you get vocal and instro either side too, you lucky people!

Dusty Grooves: One of the grooviest numbers ever cut by Latin leader Hector Rivera -- a late 60s Latin soul track with a mean mod little hook! The vocals here are all in English, and the rhythms are rompingly soulful -- lots of heavy piano over percussion, and tight horn blasts punctuating the whole groove -- especially after the tune's sock-soul chorus! The flipside features an instrumental that's almost as good as the main track too!
