Soulicious

Description

When a mythical Rock singer pays tribute to Soul. Includes duets with legends Candi Staton, Roberta Flack, Percy Sledge, Billy Paul, Russell Thompkins, Freda Payne, Dennis Edwards and the Temptations Review among others. Album produced by Lamont Dozier, Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson. Esteemed singer with the Shadows and then solo, Cliff Richard remains today, with more than fifty years of career, a leading figure in British music. Addressing a Soul aspect for this new album, Soulicious, he surrounded himself for the occasion with the greatest voices of the genre including Roberta Flack (When I Was Your Baby), Percy Sledge (I'm Your Puppet), Billy Paul (Always and Forever) and Candi Staton (Teardrops, This Time With You). With nearly 14 duets, Soulicious indeed bridges the past and present, also offering collaborations with Freda Payne (Saving A Life), Dennis Edwards and the Temptations Review (Go On & Tell Him) and Russell Thompkins (How We Get Down). Produced and co-written largely by the legendary producer Lamont Dozier (Motown), this album benefits from effective arrangements. A silky and popular collection.
