Soul aficionados will be well familiar with the recordings of Boston's
Dennis Taylor as several have graced dancefloors on the UK
soul scene. Most recently with a couple of covers of modern soul
favourites "Love No Longer Has A Hold On Me" (Johnny Bristol) / "I Can't Forget About You" (Ronn Matlock) in 2021.
He was born and raised in Charlestown, Boston, MA, and made his first
public singing performance aged 12. Dennis is a self taught musician,
who plays a variety of instruments, including piano and guitar. What's
unique about his music is that he writes, produces, sings, does all
backgrounds, mixes and plays all instruments on all of his songs.
Between 2012 and 2016, Dennis worked with Philly legend, and Grammy
Award-winning producer, Bobby Eli under whose mentorship, which Dennis
calls "a master class in soul", honed his craft in the classic soul.
Dennis has opened for artists including: Tavares, The Stylistics, Black
Ivory, Darlene Love, Candi Staton and Bloodstone and has provided
backing vocals for Alexander O'Neal, Alyson Williams and Evelyn
'Champagne' King. He is currently on tour in Germany performing six
shows and will be appearing once again at
The Cotswold Park Soul Weekender
in the UK in less than two weeks time on 24 Feb '23.
As well as solo work, Dennis became a member of Boston group,
North Shore Acappella, following the passing of Paul Lopes in Aug 2017.
In addition to a new single, "Let's Stay In Tonight" coming out on 7" vinyl at the end of Spring '23, Dennis has a new
album "I Think We're Gonna Make It" due on CD in the coming weeks on which the single will also feature.
They will be available from his
website.
Thanks for this one go to Roger Williams and KP McGoff for servicing
it.
