Lisa Dietrich [2022] - Move Me No Mountain [ldcoco music]

The new single from L.A. singer/songwriter, producer/arranger Lisa Dietrich is a cover of "Move Me No Mountain" originally recorded by Love Unlimited in 1974, an album only cut on "In Heat". It was then covered by Dionne Warwick in 1975 (originally a UK only B side single in Jun 1975 later the sides were flipped around in Aug 1975. I was only an album track in US on "Then Came You") followed by Chaka Khan in 1980 (again an album only track on "Naughty").

There have been a few subsequent covers by Soul II Soul in 1992 (a #31 UK pop chart hit)and more recently in 2019 by Quiana Lynell. There are probably others but these are the choice ones.

The song was written by prolific songwriter Jerry Ragovoy and Aaron Shroeder who was the head of Musicor Records and wrote seventeen songs and five #1 hits for Elvis Presley including "Its' Now Or Never" (aka just one cornetto!).

Sunshine Makers Feat. Aquakultre [2022] - Got to Be Good [Self Released]

Sunshine Makers are yet another relatively new soul band from Toronto. They have released only three singles since their first in 2018. Their third, "Got To Be Good", was released yesterday (19 Aug 2022) featuring another Canadian artist Aquakultre who's latest album "Don't Trip" was released last month.

All three songs have been written by band leader singer/songwriter Brent Jackson. They all lean more towards the pop end of the blue-eyed soul spectrum (although they are a mixed race group) with the backing/bassline of the latest single reminiscent of the Nile Rogers & Bernard Edwards song "Thinking Of You" recorded by Sister Sledge.
