Judith Hill: The Pepper Club
"Pepper" is no potboiler either,slinky guitar,crisp beats,some decent slap bass and a stonking horn section make this a goose necking floor filling and fun party banger - five feet from stardom!
Lakeside : Shot of love,rough riders,fantastic voyage

The Kay-Gees were an American funk and disco group during the 1970's and were the protégés and spin off of Kool & the Gang much like The JB's who were the little brothers of James Brown...
Terri Shaltiel : Sweet Thing
The extremely powerfull soul ballad 'One Of These Days' is another tour de force with some blistering singing and organ playing a tune you could easily see Etta James singing back in the day
