Want the Real Thing? If you've a hankerin' for some real Soul/R&B from some true masters, i've got 2 suggestions.
William Bell 
....A Portrait Is Forever (2000) William Bell was one of the premiere artist/producer/writers for the great Stax-Volt label. You'll probably recognize him for writing tunes like Born Under A Bad Sign (Albert King), To Be A Lover (Gene Chandler/Billy Idol) I Forgot to Be Your Lover (William Bell) and You Don't Miss Your Water (LaVern Baker/William Bell/Brian Eno/John Lee Hooker/King Curtis/Jerry Lee Lewis/Otis Redding) Plus, I got a "Special Thanks" on the back cover... 
... 
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Howard Tate... 
...Rediscovered (2003) Howard Tate is R&B veteran that was vehicle for R&B writer *Jerry Ragovoy (aka Norman Meade). Howard is probably best known for the tune Get It While You Can ('66). This tune is heart wrenchingly reprised on Rediscovered with just Howard (vocals) and Jerry (on piano). A decent pure R&B cover of Kiss (Prince) is also included. Jerry told me that while they were doing performances prior to the release of this CD, they did a gig in a Bay area venue. In the audience were quite a few name artists who are big fans of Howard. One of them was Elvis Costello. Some time after this gig, Elvis called Jerry up and stated he had written something for Howard. A collaboration occurred between Elvis and Jerry resulting in Either Side of the Same Town. *Cry Baby - Garnet Mimms/Janis Joplin Piece of My Heart - Erma Franklin/Janis Joplin/Faith Hill He won either an ASCAP or BMI award for this tune being a 3X #1 hit (R&B/Pop/Country) Time Is On My Side - Irma Thomas/The Rolling Stones Stay With Me - Lorraine Ellison My Baby - Janis Joplin Get It While You Can - Howard Tate/Janis Joplin Try (Just A Little Bit Harder) - Janis Joplin Stop - Howard Tate/James Gang/Jimi Hendrix =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Give these 2 true Soul-Soldiers some love while they're still with us.
