I totally forgot about this gem till someone requested it.To my dismay i could not find the LP to rip,still cant?..So you guys came to the rescue showing what a fantastic community we have on my blog..Not one stepped up but five of you which was fantastic,so many thanks from yours truly! One of my favourite Chicago soul sessions of all time,this was the only album ever cut by Texas born singer Ginji James,once in 1971 & again in 1973! Ginji’s got a style that’s both sweet and deep, which makes her a perfect fit for the sweeping, loping arrangements of the record,very much in the best Brunswick Chi soul style of the time,and carried off perfectly by a team of studio talents that includes Carl Davis, Eugene Record, Willie Henderson, and Tom Tom! Ginji’s vocals are really wonderful every bit as great as that of labelmates like Barbara Acklin or The Chi-Lites and the whole set sparkles with a warmth that’s pretty hard to find, even in the best soul albums from the time! Not much info out there about her i,m afraid,but a mighty fine obscure soul gem!
