Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - Easy 1969

Easy was the final duet album for Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. Its hits included the Top 10 R&B charters "Good Lovin' Ain't Easy To Come By" and "What You Gave Me," while "The Onion Song," only a mild U.S. hit, became a smash in the U.K. Its B-Side, a cover of "California Soul," was popular as well. When Tammi unfortunately died a few months after the album's release, Easy became a testament to her artistry and the everlasting work she did with Marvin Gaye.

James Brown - Get Up Offa That Thing 1976

This is a classic album. This album spans funk, soul, jazz, and blues sometimes all at once and other times by themselves. The medley that kicks the whole thing off is laden with infectious grooves, funky horns, great singing, crowd energy, and even some nasty solos.

The Chi-Lites Feat. Eugene Record - Have You Seen Her 1981


Hard To Find Chi-Lites album from Japan, this time from CD entitled Have You Seen Her. It is a combination of 2 albums, the 1st from 1980 Heavenly Body and My And You from 1981. Strangely enough, it is not clear to me how this came about because we are missing the track Whole Lot Of Good Good Lovin' that was on the original album My And You. This CD also includes a 12 inch version of Hot On A Thing.
