Review by Richard S. Ginell

With a hot funk band and a big hit, “Reach for It,” behind him, George Duke appears mostly in his persona as R&B star on this ebullient package of sometimes Latin-inflected ‘70s funk. The centerpiece is a self-parodic bit of shuck and jive called “Dukey Stick,” which became a number four hit single on the R&B charts (at his gigs, Duke used to flaunt a gaudy, lit-up, perhaps phallic wand, the “Dukey stick,” during this number). The percussion section is pretty potent, staffed by Leon “Ndugu” Chancler and Sheila Escovedo in her pre-pop star days; they even get a Latin workout of their own simply titled “Percussion Interlude.” While some of Duke’s considerable keyboard and electronic prowess breaks through now and then, this album is mainly aimed at the R&B market, as the preponderance of soul vocals indicates. As such, it is a cut or two above the routine fare of the time, though not as infectious as its predecessor Reach for It.

Recorded in 1967 after the first flush of back-to-back successes with “Respect” and “I Never Loved a Man,” this captures Aretha Franklin in peak form. Lady Soul provides her own piano accompaniment on the majority of tracks here, and the core band is the same one that provided the fire on her previous album. The tunes are an eclectic batch, and while “Baby, I Love You” was the hit of the album, Franklin turns in strong versions of “Satisfaction,” “You Are My Sunshine,” “Night Life,” “Ain’t Nobody (Gonna Turn Me Around),” and a quirky cover of “96 Tears” for good measure. An essential addition to her discography.

Review   by Joe Viglione

As Alice Clark’s eponymous 1972 epic on Bob Shad’s Mainstream Records label is a thing of beauty deserving a wider audience, so is Norman Whitfield’s 1975 supervision of Yvonne Fair entitled The Bitch Is Black. A title that shocked and grabbed attention upon its release, it may also have played a part in not revealing the majestic voice and soul-stirring ballads within. If you can’t tell a book by its cover, be careful if the title throws you off base as well. Sure, Harvey Fuqua’s “Stay a Little Longer” has some gutsy vocals reflecting that title—and stunning production by Fuqua as Whitfield had collaborators in that department on this disc—Pam Sawyer, Gloria Jones, and Clay McMurray also chipping in, but this is Yvonne Fair’s moment in the sun and her big U.K. hit, “It Should Have Been Me,” should have been a monster in the U.S. as well. There’s a hilarious parody of it on YouTube under the name Vicar of Dibley, a British TV sitcom with a comedienne, Dawn French, doing the lip sync to Fair’s popular rendition. Stevie Wonder’s “Tell Me Something Good,” a Top Three hit for Chaka Khan in the summer of 1974, is absolutely grand here, with bubbling guitar and sweet horns that give it an entirely different perspective. A cover of Barbara George’s 1962 hit “I Know (You Don’t Love Me No More)” moves with authority, and is a great selection on one of those albums that not only doesn’t have a bad track, it’s one that you wish would just keep on going. The re-release on reissue supervisor Paul Williams’ Reel Music label has a generous 7,500-word essay by liner note writer A. Scott Galloway, over 20 pages with photos and information that has never been revealed about the singer before. Galloway interviewed Dionne Warwick, Chuck Jackson, Venisha Brown (daughter of Fair and James Brown), and many others specifically for this release. There’s also a stunning and quite rare wedding photo of Fair in the tray when you lift the CD out of the jewel case, those in charge making it a labor of love that shows great respect for the artist. Packaged with the tender loving care this music deserves, and impressively remastered by Bill Lacey, it’s a project that sets a new standard and is an absolute delight in every aspect.

Despite contributions from an abundance of soul-jazz greats including Dee Dee Bridgewater, Jimmy Owens, and Garnett Brown, VIRGO RED is the most stripped-down and nuanced of Roy Ayers’s Ubiquity LPs. Its sinuous funk grooves are first and foremost a showcase for the intuitive interplay of Ayers and electric keyboardist Harry Whitaker, whose Fender Rhodes fill-ins orbit Ayers’s vibes solos like a planet circling the sun. The material is a crazy quilt of righteously soulful originals and deeply funky covers spanning Leroy Hutson’s soul classic “Giving Love” to Stories’ soft-pop smash “Brother Louie” to absolute treacle like THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE’s “The Morning After”—by all rights it shouldn’t work, but as the astrological overtones winding through VIRGO RED attest, sometimes the stars align.”
