I decided I'd try to mimic Zeeba and listen to 1978. I probably won't hit many albums from his official list, but hey, it's still 1978. From one of NYC's most popular singer/songwriters to this Portland based Soul band that was discovered by Wayne Henderson of the Jazz Crusaders. Like the Crusaders, Pleasure has some jazzy moments but leans to the Soul ying, while the Crusaders leaned further toward the Jazz yang.
Yes, this is the CD that contains "Somebody that I Used to Know." The only reason I had it was that I picked it up at a thrift shop for the right price.
I would give it . Interestingly (perhaps), this is what EvilGnome gave it, meaning that we are in agreement on something.
Considering his low ranking on downright classics, this might be an aberration, but I 'll be damned if I know...
