Legends Mix #7

I have a large amount of music still to be sorted out and catalogued and though I never seem to find time to work on this, I love to just browse around and play some stuff randomly. Most of this material is on re-issue LPs from the eigthies. For today some of the nicer - and most often pretty obscure - songs that I found this week.

Of course you will get the usual trivia and background information on the artists, and that's where the liner notes on the re-issue albums are a great help - though sometimes the people that compiled them had hardly any information. But anyhow it's great music again from the best years of the Rhythm & Blues.
