Deeply Dug Disco Grooves From The Crates

Martijn Soetens
Angela Bofill had surprising commercial success with her first two albums, Angie and Angel Of The Night, produced by contemporary jazz executives Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen for their GRP label, distributed by Arista. She then jumped to Arista itself (causing some bad blood with GRP) to try for a deliberate jazz-pop crossover on her third album Something About You. The LP was produced by Narada Michael Walden and supervised by Arista president Clive Davis. Holding Out For Love from the album managed to reach the American R&B Top 40 and became a minor hit on the Dutch pop charts in 1982. I chose to play the funky title track on this cloudcast.
