Blue Magic is a true 'soul' group!
After 25 years of listening to them, I am finally collecting their
albums! The standout track is 'What's come over me' (featuring Margie
Joseph). The interaction between Ms. Joseph and Blue Magic's lead
singer was something that stuck back in '75.
An underrated group and album that i consider is one of the most important in soul funk area.
The Group
Theodore Ted "Wizard" Mills - lead
Keith "Duke" Beaton – tenor
Wendell Sawyer – baritone

 One of the most popular smooth soul groups
of the early '70s didn't hail from Philadelphia or Memphis, the two
cities known for sweet, string-laden soul. Instead, the Chi-Lites were
from Chicago, a town better known for its gritty urban blues and
driving RB. Led by vocalist Eugene Record, the Chi-Lites had a lush,
creamy sound distinguished by their four-part harmonies and layered
productions. During the early '70s, they racked up11 Top Ten RB singles,
ranging from the romantic ballads "Have You Seen Her" and "Oh Girl" to
protest songs like "(For God's Sake) Give More Power to the People" and
"There Will Never Be Any Peace (Until God Is Seated at the Conference
Table)."... |

 A
loose concept album about the consequences of a love affair with a
married man, viewed from various sides. The opening suite "If Lovin' You Is Wrong I Don't Want To Be Right/The Rap," a raid on Isaac Hayes's string-heavy slow funk stew, is one of the greatest recordings I've ever heard,

with Ginger Baker in 1972 and BLO supported Osibisa on tour in Nigeria.
At that time BLO was voted as the best band in Nigeria.

Stephan Micus - 1976 - Archaic Concerts
Virgin records (Caroline UK) C 1517
Tracks :
A Concert for Gender, Shakuhachi, and Zither (18:40)
B Concert for Angklung, Acoustic Guitar, Rabab, and Zither (17:45)
The first Micus album and the only one which is not available on CD (as far I know)
Born in 1953 in Germany, Stephan Micus made his first journey to the
Orient at the age of sixteen. Fascinated by the variety of musical
cultures around the world Micus has travelled in virtually every Asian
and European country as well as in Africa and the Americas. Studying
with local master musicians he learned to play numerous traditional
instruments, many of them unknown in the Western world. However,
Micus‘s intention is not to play these instruments in a traditional
manner, but rather to develop the fresh musical possibilities which he
feels are inherent in them. In many of his compositions, which he
performs himself, he combi... |

The Crystals - Best of the CrystalsAmong aficionados of the girl group sound, there can't be five acts more beloved than the Crystals. Their best-known songs, which include "He's a Rebel," "Uptown," "Da Doo Ron Ron," "Then He Kissed Me," and "There's No Other Like My Baby," are among the finest examples of the best that American rock & roll had to offer in the period before the British Invasion; and decades into the CD era, the group's records are still prized in their original vinyl pressings even by non-collectors, who seem to recognize that there was something special about the Crystals' work. The group was originally a quintet consisting of Barbara Alston (born 1945), Dee Dee Kennibrew (born 1945),
