FUNKY-SOUL-VINYLS CLASSIC SOUL AND FUNK ALBUMS OF THE 60's 70's and 80's # 8

In this Series of Posts, I will writing about a Particular Classic Soul/Funk Album from the 60's 70's and 80's

The one's that stand out in my Mind, as The Best Soul/Funk/Jazz/R&B Albums ever Released. All of them, I purchased as Vinyl many Years ago and also I have them on CD today.

You may have a Differing view (as we all do) on these Choices, but these are my Favorites!

# 8...ARCHIE BELL & THE DRELLS........DANCE YOUR TROUBLES AWAY

Released in December of 1975, Archie Bell & the Drells Debut Album for TSOP was called "Dance Your Troubles Away" it had been over 6 years since their previous release, "There's Gonna Be A Showdown" on Atlantic Records!

The Album, Recorded at the Sigma Studios in Philadelphia, had 7 tracks (as follows) varying from Disco to Ballads to Mid-Tempo Tracks, this was because TSOP (Gamble & Huff) were uncertain how to Market the Band!


A1 : Let's Groove
A2 : I Could Dance All Night
A3 : I Wont Leave you Honey, Never


B1 : Dance Your Troubles Away
B2 : The Soul City Walk
B3 : Let's Go Disco
B4 : I love You (But You Don't Even Know It)


Several different Writers and Producers were Employed for the making of the Album, the Producer's were as follows:


Bunny Sigler : A2 A3
Gene McFadden : A1 B1 B2 B4 
John Whitehead : A1 B1 B2 B4
Kenny Gamble : B2
Leon Huff : A1 B1 B2 B3 B4
Victor Carstarphen : A1 B1 B2 B4 

Their were 3 Single Releases from the Album, The First was 6 months Prior (in June) to the Album Release was "I Could Dance All Night" which Reached # 25 on the US R&B Chart,  the Second Single was "The Soul City Walk" which reached # 42 on th US R&B Chart, it also Charted in The UK Pop Charts at # 13, the third & Final Single was "Let's Groove" which was the Highest Placed Single at # 7 in the US R&B Chart. 


The Album turned out to be "Archie Bell & Thr Drells" Best Selling Album in the US, Charting at # 95 in the Pop Chart.

The Backing Vocals and Rhythm Section for the Album were supplied by "Instant Funk"

It was a Great Album with only One Track I didn't Like too much, and that was "Let's Go Disco" My Favorite Tracks were "Let's Groove " and of course "Soul City Walking" 

I can quite clearly remember Buying this Album from "Airfield Tapes & Records Too" (a Record Shop in My Town, back then) and walking back to Work, that Afternoon and then going Back Home, to put it on my "GEC" Record Player!


A few facts concerning the Band:   
Archie Bell & the Drells came from Houston, Texas, as well as Archie, the Drells were Lee Bell (Archie's Brother) James Wise and Willie Purnell.

They had Recorded for "Gamble & Huff" previously in the 60's, but on the Atlantic Record Label.


The Band had Re-United for this Album and this was their 4th out of 8 Albums Recorded during their Recording History.
