THE GREATEST SOUL SINGER OF ALL TIME......... AL GREEN........ part 4

As promised from a previous Al Green post, The Christmas Album from 1983!

It has been re-released over the Years in many different guises!

It was also packaged with a Jackie Wilson Christmas complation! in 1998, and a 2001 release was called "Al Green Christmas" the last time it was re-released was back in 2005, the album was renamed "Feels Like Christmas" and had an additional track called "Glory Glory" incidentally, this latest version was also originally released in America in 2001.

There are some Great Christmas Songs on the Album, all given the Al Green Style of Singing!

The last Track is Written by Al especially for the Album

This my personal Favorite Christmas Album and played every year in our household, its also played when cooking the Christmas Dinner!

SLAVE part 3

As I said in previous post, Slave's Music from the 4th Album was about to become mellower, with
Steve Arrington performing more Lead Vocals as time went by!

The 4th Album "Just a Touch of Love" was released in 1979, Jimmy Douglass produced the first 3 tracks and the Band Produced the rest, it contained 3 Singles, all had Steve Arrington on Lead Vocals...
"Funky Lady" Roots" and one of Slaves Best ever Tracks "
Just a Touch of Love"

Starleana Young and Curt Jones were also in Slave at this time, so with them and Steve Arrington on Vocals, Slave had a much more commercial sound than before.

By 1980 Slave released the Stone Jam Album, a better Album than "Just a Touch", it contained some Great Classic Tracks including Sizzlin' Hot, Watching You, and my Favorite Feel My Love!

The Album was co-produced by Jimmy Douglass and Band member Steve Washington.

This was to be Starleana Young and Curt Jones last appearance on a Slave Album, they left to form Aurra.

1981 saw the release of the "Showtime" Album, this was to be Steve Arrington's last Slave Album!

Arrington did Vocals Drums and Percussion.

Produced again by Jimmy Douglass, and probably Better than the previous album!

It contained some Great Tracks, including Snap Shot, Party Lites, Spice of life, Steal your Heart, and two funkier Tracks Funken Town and Smokin and one of Slave's Greatest Ever Tracks " Wait For Me"

I always remember getting this Vinyl from the USA, when my Parents went there on Holiday, unfornately with the Heat in the Aeroplane luggage hold, the Vinyl Melted, so I could never play the first Tracks on side 1 & 2,
Snap Shot and Wait For Me!
