Syl Johnson - We Do It Together (2017) Shama/Numero - LP Only - Rare Soul (FLAC)

One of Syl,s harder to locate albums. A great compilation of some of his finest recordings. Syl’s inspiring voice and his mighty band, the Pieces of Peace, are a match made in soul heaven. Hit songs “One Way Ticket To Nowhere” and “Get Ready” are just two of the highlights from this LP, adding to his sky high stash of smashes. They’re joined by a super funky “Annie Got Hot Pants Power,” the uplifting “We Do It Together,” and “Thank You Baby,” and revivals of Jackie Wilson’s “That’s Why,” and the Temptations’ “The Way You Do The Things You Do,” transformed so completely that you’d swear they were written specifically for Syl. Some of his top northern dancers included..Has this guy ever made a bad recording ?..I think not.
