Popis - GRITTY, GROOVY & GETTIN':
Four of Ace's releases this month draw on the catalogue of the venerable Memphis Stax label, with three containing a quantity of previously unissued material that will delight all collectors of Southern soul and Memphis soul in particular.
"Gritty, Groovy And Gettin' It" was the first of three album releases by Grammy award-winning songwriter David Porter, a singer before teaming up with Isaac Hayes to write songs including Soul Man, Hold On, I'm Comin' and When Something Is Wrong With My Baby. Porter's debut album was released in the wake of Hayes' massive success with "Hot Buttered Soul". Although it was not as commercially successful, it proved that anything Hayes could do, David Porter could do as well, if not better, by taking mostly familiar soul songs - all personal favourites - and rearranging (and sometimes extending) them creatively. The album gave Porter a Top 30 hit with Can't See You When I Want To, a song he had recorded in very different form for Stax in the mid-60s. The rare earlier version is also included here, as one of five bonus songs, two of which have never been issued before. Recorded with many of the same musicians who played on Isaac Hayes' best-selling albums, this album has never been reissued in the UK until now.
