Marvin Gaye depois de ter lançado o revolucionário álbum “What’s going on”.
Disco que além de refletir as aspirações políticas de uma geração, que era resultado de um trabalho produzido com total autonomia pelo músico. O sucesso deste disco garantiu as portas dos estúdios de gravação abertas para sua criatividade. Não haveria momento mais propício que esse: Gaye começa a trabalhar na trilha sonora de Trouble Man (filme do diretor Ivan Dixon); e compor a trilha sonora de um blaxpoitation que permitiu a Gaye (aliado ao saxofonista Trevor Lawrence), explorar ainda mais a relação da música pop com ricos arranjos de cordas e metais. Trouble Man é denso, e sem dúvida, é o disco de Gaye mais próximo do jazz: temas que remetem à profunda introspecção que, ora desatam num clímax delirante, ora num blues do sul profundo. A trilha é permeada por impressionantes harmonias vocais, apesar do caráter basicamente instrumental; e não podia ser diferent já que o autor é o homem que “redefiniu o soul como uma forma de expressão criativa”. Um passeio pela alma de Gaye num disco que soa às vezes triste e em outras epifânico. O rouco sax de Trevor, solando com o moog presente (e executado pelo próprio Gaye) é sustentado, ora pelo groove da bateria e ora pela presença da orquestra. Dizem que: de nada nos serve uma boa idéia no momento errado; contudo Marvin Gaye criou a trilha de Trouble Man, lançada em 1972 e não podia ter vindo em melhor hora.
Um disco excelente para noites mal dormidas. Um disco com o sabor da madrugada.

Ray Charles

Órfão na adolescência, Ray Charles iniciou sua carreira tocando piano e cantando em grupos de gospel, no final dos anos 40. A princípio influenciado por Nat King Cole, trocou o gospel por baladas profanas e, após assinar com a Atlantic Records em 1952, enveredou pelo R & B. Quando o rock & roll estourou com Elvis Presleyem 1955, e cantores negros como Chuck Berry e Little Richard foram promovidos, Ray Charles aproveitou o espaço aberto na mídia e lançou sucessos como "I Got a Woman" (gravada depois por Elvis), "Talkin about You", "What I’d Say", "Litle girl of Mine", "Hit the Road Jack", entre outros, reunindo elementos de R & B e gospel nas músicas de uma forma que abriram caminho para a soul music dos anos 60, e tornando-o um astro reverenciado do pop negro.

A partir de então, embora sempre ligado ao soul, não se ateve a nenhum gênero musical negro específico: flertou com o jazz, gravou baladas românticas chorosas e standards da canção americana. Entre seus sucessos históricos desta fase estão canções como "Unchain My Heart", "Ruby", "Cry Me a River", "Georgia on My Mind" e baladas country tais como "Sweet Memories", e seu maior sucesso comercial, "I Can’t Stop Loving You", de 1962. Apesar de problemas com drogas que lhe prejudicaram a carreira, as interpretações de Ray Charles sempre foram apreciadas, não importando as músicas que cantasse. Uma "aura" de genialidade reconhecida acompanhou-o até o fim da vida e mais do que nos últimos álbuns que gravou, era nas suas apresentações ao vivo que o seu talento único podia ser apreciado.

Um notório mulherengo, Ray Charles casou-se duas vezes e foi pai de doze crianças com sete diferentes mulheres. Sua primeira esposa foi Eileen Williams (casado em 1951, divorciado em 1952) deu-lhe um filho. Outros três filhos são de seu segundo casamento, em 1955, com Della Beatrice Howard (divorciaram-se em 1977).Sua namorada de longo prazo e parceira no momento da sua morte era Norma Pinella.

The Big Neon Sign over the Bedroom Door Says . . .

"Have your sex," Marvin Gaye writes in the liner notes of this landmark of bedroom soul. "It can be very exciting . . . if you’re lucky." And if you’re really lucky, that sex will feel a bit like this album sounds—slippery and heated and all-consuming, governed equally by urgency and tenderness. An essay on carnal delight in eight parts, Let’s Get It On is one for the ages not just because of its plush backgrounds (particularly the wah-wah guitar of Melvin Ragin, a key player on the L.A. Motown sides) or its melodies (largely improvised), but because of Gaye’s needy-man delivery, the way he transforms "please baby" into a bouquet of beautifully arranged pleas. He’s just a few years removed from What’s Going On (see previous page), his comment on society, but he’s really worlds away: Sharing his formidable repertoire of bended-knee incantations, Gaye wants to stay in the bedroom as long as it takes to celebrate every last sacred ritual of love.

This album triggered an enormous outbreak of slightly salacious bedroom soul, much of it the equivalent of play-by-play coverage from ringside. Gaye’s endeavor is different: Singing in that sly, delighted way, he brings listeners into his need, shares the pleasure and the torment, makes raw desire sound almost noble and immediate. When Gaye talks about getting it on, you are there.

A2 Please Stay (Once You Go Away)

Jermaine Jackson um dos integrantes dos Jackson Five e o segundo em destaque na carreira solo, pois seu irmão mais novo Michael Jackson já estava trilhando este caminho com o álbum Got To Be There (LP) lançado em 1971 e com muito sucesso
Desligou-se dos Jackson Five em 1975 quando a banda resolveu trocar de gravadora fazendo com que a banda retirasse o Five do nome passando a ser somente The Jackson.
Alem deste álbum lançado em 1972 que teve um relativo sucesso também lançou outros álbuns, mas o reencontro com o sucesso só viria doze anos mais tarde com a musica Do What You Do no álbum Dynamite lançado em 1984.

Originating in Cleveland, OH, S.O.U.L. stood for “Sounds of Unity and Love.” The members were Lee Lovett(bass), Gus Hawkins (sax/flute), Paul Stubblefield (drums), and Walter Winston (guitar). Larry Hancock (vocals/organ) was added in 1971 and Bernard (Beloyd) Taylor (guitar) replaced Winston in 1972. All had been involved in music before the formation of S.O.U.L. The fellows entered a battle-ofthe- bands contest in 1970, sponsored by the May Company department store in Cleveland, WHK radio station, and Musicor Records. The group won the first prize of 1,000 dollars and a recording contract with Musicor. They traveled to New York City in 1971 and recorded a 45 entitled “Down in the Ghetto Parts I & II” which exceeded the expectations of Musicor by doing so well regionally. They cut a second single, then were invited back to New York to record an album. What It Is consisted of seven tracks and illuminated the versatility of the band. They did covers of jazz and funk tunes to augment their two singles. It did quite well, cracking the Top 40 album spot on Billboard’s soul album chart and nesting there for two months. The album was released in the United Kingdom and other European countries in the early ’90s on the BGP label where S.O.U.L. is a cult figure.

Born in Atlanta, GA in 1947, Freddie Terrell was born into a musical family. His mother was in The Every Ready Gospel Singers with her 2 sisters and mother while his father Johnny was in an alkl male group called The Southern Belles. He would be hired (he wanted to be in a group so bad but had to wait) at age 12 or 13 as a guitarist in his father’s band. He would get into secular music through Jazz, and a band in school called The New Breed. They played Jazz favorites of the time, and then Freddie moved on to R& B through his friend Jay Floyd. Floyd played bass with Lee Moses in a band called the Showstoppers. It was here Terrell could let it all hang out, something Christian music did not allow guitarwise. Terrell played the club scene with Moses, playing with jamming such as Mighty Hannibal, Calvin Arnold (who produced this record), and even Jimi Hendrix, who was in town playing with the Isley Brothers. Freddie played on many of Lee Moses ( Musicor, Dynamo) and Hermon Hitson ( Minit, Atco), and went on to make music further with Mighty Hannibal, Major Lance, and Wilson Pickett. The latter two he would go on tour with, most notably with the Wicked One. Terrell worked the Chitlin’ Circuit in Pickett’s band, touring extensively with the who’s who of R & B in the 60’s. After his time with Pickett he released “You Had It Made” on Capitol with The Blue Rhytym Band, and later went on to form The Soul Expedition. A church based band, they would play in church but also back major players when they came through. Their debut on Lefevre was pressed in small quantities and is definitely sought after. The Soul Expedition were reissued by Jazzman many years after. As the music progressed to Disco, the Soul Expedition went their separate ways, with Terrell, the master guitar player, working as a sideman once again for many years This very record is what Freddie is best known for. He continues to play music today, some 40 years plus since he started.
