Peabo Bryson [1978] - Feel The Fire [Capitol #4573]

A stone cold soul classic, that he wrote himself, which seemed to pass the general record buying public by as it only charted on US R&B charts, reaching #13 in 1978. 

Now 40 odd years later it still sounds as good as ever. Below I've posted him perfoming it live on 'Ladies Request' concert, which was also released as a DVD in 2005 and has been posted here if you want to view the whole concert.

Peabo Bryson [2020] - Why Don't You Make Up Your Mind [Expansion #EXUMG06]

I'm pretty much up to date on new releases so today I'll focus on new and recent reissues.

A good excuse to post this modern soul classic as it had it's first issue on 45 by Expansion (UK) in 2020.

Previously only available on the 1981 'Turn The Hands Of Time' album on Capitol or Soul Boulevard (80s soul for Connoisseurs) compilation released by EMI in 1998.

Fourplay [2020] - The Closer I Get to You (Feat. Patti Austin & Peabo Bryson) [2020 Remastered]

Now here's some quality from Fourplay (which consists of Bob James (piano), Nathan East (bass), Harvey Mason (drums), Lee Ritenour (guitar)) featuring Patti Austin and Peabo Bryson covering a classic ballad originally recorded by Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway in 1977.

This was released last November (2020) on The Best Of Fourplay [2020 Remastered] which is a 2020 re-issue of their 1997 album with this track as an additional track not on the 1997 album.

Another noteworthy track is a cover of The Isley Brothers - 'Between The Sheets' featuring Chaka Khan and Nathan East.
