Keith Barrow [2023] - Philadelphia Re-edit Sessions [Simphouse Productions] (Full Album)


The next in Paul Simpson Philadelphia Re-edit Sessions is Keith Barrow. It follows his Roy Ayers Mixes earlier this month.

All tracks are from taken from Keith Barrow's 1977 self-titled album on Columbia produced by the recently departed Bobby Eli with Larry Washington on percussion/congas and Ron Kersey on keys.

Tracks 3, 4 & 5 were written by Bobby Eli, (3 & 5 with Len Barry and 1 with Bruce Fisher).

Track List
01 - A world of lonely people (Paul Simpson Re-edit) 8:45
02 - You don't know how hard it is ( Paul Simpson Re-edit) 6:54
03 - We've got a right to be wrong (Paul Simpson Re-edit) 3:27
04 - Mr. Magic man (Paul Simpson Re-edit) 4:27
05 - I put a twinkle in your eye (Paul Simpson Re-edit) 6:21

Only two of the tracks were released on 45, "Mr. Magic Man" (a #16 R&B hit for Wilson Pickett in 1973) c/w "We've Got A Right To Be Wrong", which preceded his big two-stepper "You Know You Wanna Be Loved" from his next album "Physical Attraction" in 1978.

We did a Keith Barrow Profile last Sep for what would have been his 68th birthday. He sadly died at a very young age of 29 in 1983 from complication from AIDS. Four of the five tracks above were included in a tribute playlist. He recorded four albums and only around eight singles before his death.

Full tracks are available to listen to on Paul's dedicated website available for a two weeks only.

  1. Good singer especially his productions for Columbia.
    Too bad his fantastic "You Know You Want to Be Loved" is missing.
