Butch Ingram's Society Hill Records release another cover song billed
as
The Society Hill Orchestra feat. Kat Fontaine & Benny
Barksdale Jr.
The song is "I Am Your Melody" written by Jacques Burvick (Aquarian Dream & Starship Orch.)
and jazz saxophonist Marion Meadows and originally recorded by
Norman Connors.
It featured on Connor's "Passion" album in 1988 featuring session singer
Spencer Harrison on vocals who died very young in 1994
aged only 32. Harrison recorded just one solo single in 1991 ("I'll Be Home") and
featured on two tracks on Connor's 1993 album "Remember Who You Are"
("Lush Life" and Leon Russell's "A Song For You").
Kat Fontaine released an album "This Time" in Feb '22, which was all cover songs. One of the tracks (a cover of Dee Dee Sharpe's 1980 PIR single "I Love You Anyway") did quite well on UK Soul Chart. Kat was a regular go-to backing vocalist in the Philly International heyday working on may recordings for the label's roster.
If you haven't guessed already, Chuck Barksdale Jr. is a saxophonist originally from Baltimore, MD. He has worked with The Dells (but don't think he is related to Chuck Barksdale) which led to him gaining studio work with The Nite-Liters and it is his sax solo on "Kay-Gee".
