Arthur Adams - Love My Lady - (1979) A&M - LP Only Release - Rare Soul/Funk/Jazz + Bonus Tracks

Now here,s a guy who started off his career into the Blues & Gospel but moved over to appeal to Soul/Funk/Jazz fans alike recording some great music,also appealing to the dance floor. Arthur Adams was born xmas day 1943) and hails from Medon, Tennessee. Inspired by B.B. King and other 1950s artists, he played gospel music before attending college.  In 1964, Adams moved to Los Angeles, California, after a DJ in Fort Worth recommended Adams as a session player to Vee-Jay Records. Although he recorded a session, it was never released. That same year, he began working as a session musician full-time, working with Quincy Jones, and recording singles for the notorious Bihari Brothers (on the Kent Records label), and for Hugh Masekela on the Chisa label. The move was lucrative for Adams, who not only made a name for himself in the clubs, but also became a prolific studio musician, contributing to movies and soundtracks, playing on hundreds of sessions with artists ranging from Lou Rawls to Henry Mancini. He produced both blues and soul music on the Modern label, and with Edna Wright AKA Sandy Wynns (later lead singer of Honey Cone), he sang a duet called "Let's Get Together", using the name Arthur & Mary. Upon recommendation from Bobby Womack, Adams appeared in the house band for a TV program hosted by NFL defensive tackle Rosey Grier, who was also a singer. This led to further studio work in Los Angeles; he played on recordings by the Jackson 5, Henry Mancini, Lou Rawls, Willie Hutch, Sonny Bono, Nancy Wilson, Kim Weston, the Ballads (on their 1968 single "God Bless Our Love"), Sonny Charles & the Checkmates, Ltd. (on the 1969 single "Black Pearl", produced by Phil Spector), and others. In 1967, Adams performed in a cameo appearance for the made-for-television movie, The Outsider, which starred Darren McGavin, playing a rendition of "She Drives Me Out of My Mind", later released on the Bihari brothers' Modern Records label.During the 1960s and 1970s he released solo albums and worked as a session musician. In 1985 he was tapped to tour on bass guitar with Nina Simone, and he staged a comeback in the 1990s when he released Back on Track, and became a respected Chicago blues player and bandleader in B.B. King's clubs.
