VINYL ECCENTRIC SOUL: FORTE LABEL [VINYL]

Popis - ECCENTRIC SOUL: FORTE LABEL [VINYL]:
In 1969, after three years as Soul Sister #1 to James Brown's
touring entourage, Marva Whitney came home to Kansas City, putting Ellis Taylor's Forte label back at full fighting
strength. Shed calmed aching crowds the day after MLK's death, and shed lived the life, despite its rigors-to pour out her pain and exuberance on Forte sides including "Ive Lived The Life" and "Daddy Dont Know About Sugar Bear," which made national rounds in 1972. By then, Forte had already done more than deliver Marvelous Marva to market. Taylor worked overtime at KPRS to bring the world The Rayons, whod stroll their girl group harmonies past Chicagos RCA studios on "Baby Be Good." In 68, The Four Darlings sauntered in with smoky-voiced soul operatics on the demanding "Give Me Love." Progressing in the middle 70s, Everyday People got "Super Black" on Forte's pine-green label. Still powering forward some 13 years on, Forte redawned with the 1980s, essaying disco funk with Sharon Revoal's "Reaching for Our Star." Numero 047 Eccentric Soul: The Forte Label charts Kansas City yeomans work, the Carpets and the Derbys, dapper clothiers mysteriously murdered, and marriages made and broken. In 28 LP tracks, plus a trove of promo headshots and every-hued label scans detailing all iterations of Fortes logo in print, this 16th Eccentric Soul sojourn hands over vivid floor shakers and lost dance craze records alike-though what moves "The Hen" required remains anyone's guess.
