説明
The Invitationsは60年代半ばに結成され、1973年にLew Kirtonが加入しました。彼のボーカルが光る「Look On The Good Side」と「They Say The Girl's Crazy」は、1974年にSilver Blue Recordsからリリースされ、今回初めて再発されます。これらの曲はフィラデルフィアでBobby Martinによってアレンジ・共同プロデュースされ、フィリーサウンドが特徴です。Kirtonは後にソロで「Heaven In The Afternoon」などのヒットを飛ばしましたが、今回の再発はソウルの歴史を刻む名作です。
A. Look On The Good Side
B. They Say The Girl's Crazy
The Invitations have roots tracing back to the mid-60s and saw various lead singers take the mic until Lew Kirton joined in 1973. Kirton's vocals grace both 'Look On The Good Side' and 'They Say The Girl's Crazy' from 1974 which are now reissued for the first time. Originally released on Silver Blue Records, a label founded by songwriter and producer Joel Diamond, these tracks were arranged and co-produced by Bobby Martin in Philadelphia and boast the unmistakable Philly Sound. Kirton later departed for a successful solo career, notably remembered for hits like 'Heaven In The Afternoon' but this reissue brings forth a timeless slice of soul history.
