 (1 Customer Review)
The 1970s soul star Billy Paul is most closely associated with his immortal smash, "Me and Mrs. Jones," the smooth, supple cheating song that helped define not just the Philly soul style but the sound of an entire era. While that classic tune is certainly the centerpiece of 360 DEGREES OF BILLY PAUL, it's far from the only memorable moment. Paul proves adept at sliding soulfully into other people's songs too, adding a jazzy touch to Carole King's "It's Too Late," making Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" even softer and more romantic than the original, and giving Elton John's ballad, "Your Song," a danceable, upbeat treatment. Additionally, tunes like "Brown Baby" and "I'm Just a Prisoner" convincingly address social issues, proving Paul was more than just a love man.
Recorded at Sigma Sound Studios, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1972.

360 Degrees Of Billy Paul CD music
$20.29 
Dismissed by the benighted as the Doors' "pop album," SOFT PARADE is one of the band's most adventurous recordings, utilizing strings and horns without resorting to schlocky over-production and moving far beyond their blues roots. Morrison was fully into his shaman phase by 1969, and his obsession with that image is reflected in the proselytizing air of "Tell All the People," and of course "Shaman's Blues." The album's biggest hit "Touch Me," while easily the group's most radio-friendly offering, is a pop classic that ranks among the great '60s AM radio tunes. "Wild Child" is a brief return to the blues-rock of yore, but the title track is a sophisticated, extended piece that moves through several different moods and textures, full of the elliptical, poetic lyrics that were Morrison's trademark.

The founder of the band, Miguel Rincon, met David Dale at a local watering hole - Miguel was drinking, David working. Miguel was currently with another band at the time but wanted to pursue other musical interests. David had a rehearsal space and offered it for a jam session. On the day of the birth of Overtone, Miguel brought along his brother, John, to join the session. They began with a number of cover tunes, but realized that the original material that they fiddled around with that day was something worthwhile. They soon placed an ad in the local paper in search of a vocalist. One of the singers auditioned was Chris Recinos. Chris was just as impressed with the musicians as they were with him that day, and thus began Overtone.Bios:David Dale ...
