{"product_id":"linda-lee-hopkins_spirit-soul_2024_ino","title":"SPIRIT \u0026 SOUL","description":"You already know Linda, without really knowing her. Because in 2002, she was the voice behind “The Beat Goes On,” DJ Bob Sinclar's house hit. Because she directed Gospel pour 100 Voix, an XXL choir that filled Bercy multiple times. A striking contrast, reflecting her approach to music: a matter of emotion, of feeling, not labels. Linda is gifted at embodying songs and captivating audiences. Charmed, several bands recruited her in the 70s until she formed her own in 1980. In June 1991, she moved to Paris, and for good. A godsend for France, its studios, its touring artists. Nino Ferrer, Bernard Lavilliers, Gloria Gaynor, Percy Sledge, Ray Charles, and many others called upon Linda's expertise. As did Ben l'Oncle Soul in 2013 for \"Hallelujah!!! (J'ai tant besoin de toi),\" the lead single from his second album \"À Coup de Rêves.\" Ben knew that this vocal treasure deserved new recognition. He introduced her to his long-time guitarist collaborator, Christophe Lardeau. Their rapport was clear, naturally fruitful, and compositions emerged—deep and meaningful. For the first time, Linda had an album truly her own. Drawing from the rich roots of Afro-American music and her personal experiences, \"Spirit \u0026 Soul\" encapsulates all the vitality of a hidden gem finally truly discovered.","brand":"Linda Lee Hopkins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55310134837592,"sku":null,"price":20240531.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/3666946003252.jpg?v=1765823708","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/linda-lee-hopkins_spirit-soul_2024_ino","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
