Leroy Burgess – Throwback: Harlem 79-83 CD (Soul Brother)

12 unreleased tracks from the legendary singer/songwriter/producer recorded in late 70’s/early 80’s. Some are the original demo’s of tracks he wrote for others like ‘Its So Easy (You Can Do It –dino terell) ’, ‘Moment Of My Life’ (inner life), and ‘Fly Girl’ (intrique) and ‘Youre My Number One’ (change) which all stand up well against the released versions because Leroy’s voice is so good. Of the 7 new songs the best are the classic Burgess boogie tracks like ‘Scandal’, ‘Midnight In The Streets’ , ‘Keepin On’, ‘Under Da Radar’ and ‘Hold up’ whilst ‘All Into You’ is a mid tempo groover. The live cover of the Isleys ‘Hello Its Me’ is also interesting. This brilliant project is unmissable if you are into Burgess, Boogie or early 80’s uptempo soul. – Soul Brother
