Colonel Abrams [2021] - Good Things (2021 Remake) [Big Tribe Records]


Originally released on his third album 'About Romance' in 1992, a 2021 Remake was released on 22 Feb 2021.

Best known in the UK for his #3 pop hit 'Trapped' in 1985 which didn't chart stateside, although reached #20 R&B. His biggest hits in US were "How Soon We Forget" (#6 R&B / #75 UK) and "I'm Not Gonna Let You" (#7 R&B / #24 UK). He had two further chart entries in UK "Music Is The Answer"(#84) and "The Truth# (#53).

His first single, released in 1984, "Leave The Message Behind The Door" is a quiet storm classic.

He was the vocalist for 94 East in the 70s. A teenage Prince and Andre Cymone were also members of the group formed by Pepe Willie who was the husband of Prince's cousin.

Abrams died in 2016 aged 67, so I don't know when this remake was done, presumably it's a posthumous remake from the original recording?

I've posted the original as well for comparison.
