Ross Fitz [2022] - Love Stormy Weather [Hot Digits #HOTDIGITMAXI008]


Posting the latest Izipho Soul release yesterday reminded me of a track I was alerted to a few weeks back by Ross Fitz, "Love Stormy Weather", which samples Melvin Brown & James Matthews' "Love Stormy Weather" from 1976 (which was the first 'official' Izipho Soul 7" release in 2017) and was released on 13 Jun 2020 as part of 30 track compilation "Hot Digits:Year Eight" which, at present, is available only on Traxsource.  

The same compilation also has a track by J.B. Sugar ,"Black Sugar", which samples Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes Feat. Sharon Paige "Tonight's The Night" from the "Blue Album" 1979, the same one that had "Prayin'", post Teddy P.

In the main the album is disco fodder but another track by Old Chap "The Best In Me" I'm sure is sampling something. The voice and song is familiar and I think it could be Marlena Shaw" You Bring Out The Best In Me" from her 1978 album "Acting Up" but speeded up.

I'm sure there are other tracks sampled but these, for me, are the best of the compilation.
