Howard Tate covers "Kiss" on first album in decades

From an Elvis Costello website:

Howard Tate "Rediscovered" Rediscovered, the first new album from legendary R&B vocalist Howard Tate in nearly thirty years, and one of the most remarkable career comebacks in the annals of popular music, to be released on Private Music / Arista Associated Labels, July 1...

Rediscovered reunites Tate with renowned songwriter and producer Jerry Ragovoy and features eleven new Ragovoy originals composed especially for the project, including a track co-written with Elvis Costello. The album also highlights Tate's electrifying rendition of the Prince classic, "Kiss."

Rediscovered features a top-notch studio line-up, including performances by the famed Uptown Horns. Produced by Jerry Ragovoy, it also highlights such Ragovoy originals as "Mama Was Right," "Sorry Wrong Number," "All I Know Is The Way I Feel," and "Either Side Of The Same Town" co-written with Elvis Costello. "Howard's magical and original voice is the missing link between Jackie Wilson and Al Green," said Costello. "His voice is better than ever and the new songs rival his classics. Of all the songs I've ever written, Howard's version of 'Either Side of the Same Town' is perhaps the most astounding.

Thank u,people always go for the big hits,instead of covering one of his not so known tunes..that would prove to me that said artist is a REAL fan.
