Year : 2019/1972
Alice Clark's highly sought-after record finally reissued by french label Wewantsounds, is an absolute must-have for all the soul-jazz diggers and aficionados. Recorded in 1972 at the famous Record Plant studio in New York, this unfamiliar soul-jazz classic of the Mainstream Records label was a commercial failure. Produced by Bob Shad, owner of the label, arranged and conducted by Ernie Wilkins, it features the hottest jazz american session musicians among Cornell Dupree (eg), Bernard Purdie (ds), Joe Newman (tp), Ernie Hayes & Paul Griffin (ep, org). Titles include three songs written by Bobby Hebb (Charms Of The Arms Of Love, Don't You Care, Hard Hard Promises), Jimmy Webb's "I Keep It Hid", the single "Never Did I Stop Loving You", and Petula Clark's "Looking At Life".
