The one's that stand out in my Mind, as The Best Soul/Funk/Jazz/R&B Albums ever Released. All of them, I would have purchased as Vinyl many Years ago and also I have many of them on CD today.
You may have a Differing view (as we all do) on these Choices, but these are my Favorites!
# NUMBER ONE
ARTIST..........THE INTRUDERS
ALBUM..........ENERGY OF LOVE
YEAR OF RELEASE..........1974
RECORD LABEL..........T.S.O.P
Tracklisting:
A1 Energy Of Love (3:33)
A2 Rainy Days And Mondays (6:28)
A3 A Nice Girl Like You (3:30)
A4 Jan (4:35)
A5 Be Thankful For What You Got (3:13)
B1 What's Easy For Two Is So Hard For One (2:23)
B2 Lonely Lonely (3:30)
B3 Everyone's A Star (5:42)
B4 Plain Ol' Fashioned Girl (2:50)
B5 Be On Time (4:54)
The Album contained a Couple of Great Remakes from other Artists, including:
Rainy Days and Mondays, a Carpenters Original from 1971. A Great Remake, but I liked the other Remake even more, the Great Track, Be Thankful For What You're Got, written by (and a Hit for) William DeVaughan ( I dont know which Version is the Best!).
Incidentally, do think, like me that "Everyones a Star" is very Similar to "Be Thankful"
All and All, this is a Great Album, I'm still Playing it some 37 Years later, so it must have Something!
The Album had 3 Single releases, they were Tracks A.3, A.2 and A.1 in that order.
They later moved to Gamble and Huff's more Successful Record Labels, "Philadelphia International" and "T.S.O.P"
During their time "The Intruders" had several Different Line-Up changes, and in 1975 they Disbanded after about a 6 Album Career, when they Re-Formed in 1984, with a Release on a British Record Label, non of the Original Members were Present!
