Inspired by the new 20 track Modern Soul compilation released
today (posted yesterday) from Outta Sight, I thought that today, for a
change, I'd post all vintage stuff as a break from a lot of 'samey' new
material. Most, if not all, of the tracks will be from the 'So Soulful
70s'.
To kick things off, and set the tone, here are a couple of album only tracks from Walter Heath from his only album "You Know You're Wrong Don't Ya Brother" on Buddah, 1974. The album spawned two 45s (including one for the title track) and that seems to be his total output. I thought that strange as it's a very good album and I hadn't realised, until putting this post together, that he went on to record gospel, which is unsurprising as he was the
son of a preacher and raised on gospel, so this looks like his only
venture into secular music. He released two gospel CDs in 2009 and 2010 and appears to be still alive and well as he has his own
YouTube channel
and posted on it only in May.
I was only going to post one track, but may as well post
all the good modern soul tracks from the album: "Put Your Love In My Hands", "You Know You're Wrong Don't Ya Brother" and "I Thought You Might Like To Know".
I've had the album for many years and it's still easily and cheaply
available (prices on Discogs vary from $5-$50 - interestingly none for sale from UK - no one here wants to sell it! - so shipping costs could be a factor). I don't believe that it has ever been reissued (on vinyl or CD).

I also have the album which is largely underestimated.
It will certainly be a great discovery for some.
Thanks for posting it.
