Originally released on 29 Jan but seems to be being given another push
today for Valentine's Day (as it has a date of 14 Feb on Amazon) is a
cover of D.J. Rogers "Say You Love Me" by Jamison Ross. A good move as it appears to have been overlooked (as we seem to recall
this coming up on our Release Radar a few weeks ago and it didn't register
on first listen).
Ross' version splits the difference between Rogers' 5:44 album version
("It's Good To Be Alive" 1975) and his 3:31 single version, clocking at 4:45. It was Rogers' first hit,
reaching #51 on R&B chart and his only entry into the Hot 100, scraping
in at #98.
A few others have covered the song including CeCe Rogers, Jennifer Holliday and Natalie Cole.
It's the Florida based jazz drummer's second single since his "Jamo" album in Sep '22 which contained several acclaimed tracks such as "Tell Me You Love Me" (a reminder video below) and "One Day At A Time" feat. Avery*Sunshine in particular.
