New Recipes Volume 10

As I mentioned with the previous installment of New Recipes, it's looking like a good year for retro soul and funk releases ... and frankly, it already has been and we're not even halfway through. So a little ahead of schedule comes our second installment so far this year, and it's super-sized just for this special occasion. Volume 10 feels fairly milestone-ish for a series that I initially thought might not even find an audience here. New Recipes however, is among the most downloaded of all our anthologies actually. Also the near entirety of (if not all) the music contained in this double-decker edition, was composed, recorded and released during this daunting and sprawling pandemic. For a worldwide and ongoing event that has brought most all of us an abundance of direct and/or indirect negative ramifications, it's sure nice to have at least one positive take-away ... anywho, two for the price of none. Eat up!

Love Business

Akin to the way Willie Mitchell cultivated the Hi Records sound and became an influential figure in the evolution of southern soul, a couple states over, one Willie Clarke was shaping the Miami sound with a slew of gritty soul and funk compositions -- over a decade before the commercial success of KC & The Sunshine Band and Miami Sound Machine. Clarke with then-partner Johnny Pearsall, founded Deep City Records in the mid 60s. It was the first black owned recording studio in the country. Clarke and Pearsall enlisted Clarence Reid and Arnold Albury and together the four wrote, arranged and produced hit-worthy record, after hit-worthy record. Their efforts showcased the depths of talent and the melting pot of musical diversity that was boiling over in Miami during the 60s. The songwriting partnership between Willie Clarke and Clarence Reid (in my opinion is the finest collaboration in all soul music) was cemented by 1967 and laid the foundation for teenage Betty Wright's impressive career. It forged through tribulations between Clarke and Pearsell and flourished under the wing of Henry Stone and T.K. Productions from the late 60s through to the mid 80s. A re-post from the original Groovy Gumbo site, first shared a couple years back.

WLRN TV/PBS Review produced an excellent hour-long documentary focused on Willie Clarke and his Deep City Records.
Check it out HERE 

Karen Halliburton at 50Bold followed up with an expansive interview.

Love Business unlike most collections I post, is a collection of varied cuts from the Willie Clarke songbook. 86 of my fav tracks recorded between 1964 and 1980, preformed by Various Artists and issued on numerous labels. All files chronicled, cleanly tagged (with credits) and mp3 @ 320kbs. Thanks to original uploaders, enjoy.

O-O-O-O-Oh Yeah!!! Vol. 25

OK folks, I've done all I'm willing to do to guide you towards full access to the main site. This morning I invited several more applicants and I re-invited some applicants for the third and/or fourth time -- but it's the last time -- Check your spam folders! If you couldn't provide all the required information in the right place, or barely eked out a sentence, or are awaiting some personal explanation / invitation / response ... do not hold your breath. This is the final nudge for the scragglers, I have more pressing concerns. 

I will continue to share the GGG Compilations here in a bare bones fashion ... no fuss, no muss, and as this is a public forum, no comments. You can leave them of course, and I will read them but they will not be published. Anywho, with no further ado here's the latest O-O-O-O-Oh Yeah!!!

Glucose For Comfort Vol. 07

Attn: Applicants I've sifted through the applications for FULL ACCESS and have sent out a number of invites. There's still several spots available to a handful of interesting applicants that have yet to provide a gmail address. Some of the applicants were unable to follow the simple instructions provided, while some others simply seem a little suspect. Either way, no dice! There's a handful I'm on the fence about for sure. I'm not looking to fill up all the available slots, I'm looking to invite like-minded, trustworthy, community oriented individuals who have a deep love for soul music. I know some of you are having technical difficulties with the confirmation email and other little quirks -- let me know / keep trying and remember, you must be logged into the gmail you've provided, to access the site ... "and the best of luck to you."
