We stumbled across this compilation "Soul 1" during our searches over the weekend releases which was originally
released in Aug 2001. We tried to find the original release but all
that it turned up was a subscription service for
Universal Records. So it's a strange one as it seems like it's library music that is
licensed. All the tracks feature either Jamie Dunlap or Paul
Taylor.
A Jamie Dunplap is listed on Discogs but only for appearances on half
a dozen compilations, four of which are from the same source i.e.
MasterSource, so it's more than likely the same artist. It gives his full name as James Ronald Dunlap who was a member of a group/duo named
Lazarus Heart who released an album "Open The Sky" in 2002. All
songs were written by Dunlap and Molly Pasutti who also only otherwise
features on MasterSource or Killer Tracks compilations.
We gave up on Paul Taylor as there are literally dozens of artists
with the name, but suspect the result will be the same i.e. a session
singer who featured on MasterSource compilations.
Whilst many of the
MasterSource
compilations are listed on Discogs we could not find this one
listed.
It seems a bit 'random' that it has been reissued all of a sudden and
out of the blue and it wasn't available on Spotify until today.
It's a mixed bag with a lot of pop/blue-eyed soul and many of the
tracks sound older than 2001. However, there is one 'jewel in the
crown' credited to Jamie Dunlap, Scott Nickoley & Stephen Lang "Take A Little Time" (track 14) along the with perhaps the last track "More Than I Can Say" which reminded us of something and think it may be Heatwave's "Always And Forever" in parts).
