Arthur Adams [2023] - I Got Your Back [Cleopatra Blues]

Adams is perhaps best known in rare soul circles for his great dance record "You Got The Floor" in 1981. His debut solo album "It's Private Tonight" was released in 1973 on the legendary jazz label Blue Thumb which included Joe Sample and Wilton Felder of The Crusader as musicians (who he had recorded several singles with in the 60s) as well as in-demand backing group The Blackberries (Sherlie Matthews, Clydie King & Venetta Fields). He later reciprocated by playing on several Crusaders album
