Description
Vinyl by this talented, soulful, yet obscure artist, go easily for hundreds of dollars and have continued to rise in value (copies have gone for $676 - that was in 2013 before the Vinyl Renaissance got into full swing). The artist has recorded in my hometown of Hampton Roads, VA. (Norfolk Sound in Chesapeake, VA., etc.), an area where a soulful voice needs some luck to emerge from oppressive conditions. Had this underrated artist had more support/promotion, he might have made it big. But would all the hype of success have robbed his work of the very unpretentious charm (even LP cover is humble) we are so eager to discover in time capsules such as these. Perhaps, you could think of his sound as having a smoother, more soulful, essence than the late Prince, and without the over-produced commercialism of today's vocalists. He just let's it out smoothly with articulate feeling. His soul spoke and years later our ears listen.
