Best Of Yarbrough & Peoples CD

This is part of the Mercury Records/Chronicles Funk Essentials series.

Alisa Peoples and Calvin Yarbrough's music is like a breath of fresh air -- a perfect fusion of soul, disco, and pop. Their manager and producer Lonnie Simmons never lets the sound get too heavy or too light. The pleasantries include "Don't Stop the Music," "Heartbeats," "Be a Winner," and "Come to Me." A scrumptious compilation that will spin for hours on your CD player. ~ Andrew Hamilton
