Tucked away of the B side to Chuck Cissel's highest (of only three) charting singles "Cisselin' Hot", is a tune that got some spins on the modern soul scene, "Do You Believe".
Both are taken from his first of only two albums, "Just for You", in 1979 produced by Skip Scarborough. He followed it with the now sought after "Don't Tell Me I'm Sorry". Both sides were reissued together on 7" by Expansion in UK in 2018.
We were just going to post "Do You Believe" but, after listening to the full album again, there are some other good
underplayed tunes on it e.g. "Emergency" and "I've Been Needing Love So Long".
Cissel, now 74, started out performing on Broadway shows, so perhaps that explains why he released just two albums and perhaps, owing to the success of "Cisselin' Hot", became labelled as a disco artist? His second album, whilst containing a superb version of The Dell's "Love Is Missing From Our Lives" (written by Tony Hester) and a minor R&B hit with Marva King on the title track, a MORish ballad "If I Had A Chance", was a commercial failure and was ultimately his last album.
