Another pair of previously unreleased tracks from
Roz Ryan (Rosalyn Bowen), which were discovered on a tape reel from 1980, are due as the next release on Super Disco Edits on their 7th Galaxy
imprint. Both sides produced by Mike Theodore and Dennis
Coffey.
The top side is a two-stepper "Love Changes" also recorded by O.C. Smith and was the title track of his 1982
debut, and only, Motown album. Curiously the song writing credits of
O.C. Smith's South Bay edition, presumably a local release prior to
Motown, name Chapman, Drutry & Brown, whilst the Motown and SDE
release lists Leroy Crawford and Nelson Pigford. Even more curious is
the 7" version on South Bay credits Leroy Crawford and Nelson Pigford
whilst the 12" version credits Chapman, Drutry & Brown. A strange and mysterious world this music
business!
The flip side is a boogie/funk disco tune "Funky Way To Treat Me".
Roz Ryan is best know and loved in UK rare soul circles for her 1970 outing on Volt "You're My Only Temptation", a crossover song written by Detroit legends Richard 'Popcorn' Wylie and Tony Hester. Apart from now three issues of previously unreleased recordings via Super Disco Edits, she released only one further recording in 1983 "Boy Where Have You Been" as she turned her hand to musical theatre and acting appearing in many Broadway shows, TV series and movies. You can read her bio on her website.
As often the case SDE releases white label promos followed by the
official release which is due on 24 Jun 2022 from
Super Disco Edits.
