Latimore - Straighten It Out; The Best Of Latimore (1995) Rhino + Booklet (FLAC)

Born in Charleston Tennessee in 1939 benny is another srtist with an exceptional voice. I have everything this Florida based genius has done because its essential in my book!..Benny,s Deep voiced sultry mid-'70s output for Miami's Glades label was a steamy marriage of soul and blues. Initially billed as Benny Latimore, the Tennessean began recording for Miami mogul Henry Stone in 1965, and his late-'60s Dade singles are solid deep soul. Dropping his first name on Glades, Latimore finally found stardom in 1973 with a jazzy reading of T Bone Walkers "Stormy Monday." He topped the soul lists in 1974 with the anguished "Let's Straighten It Out," a simmering soul/blues hybrid, and encored with the incendiary "Keep the Home Fires Burnin'" the next year. Most of Latimore's Glades sides were produced in Miami by Steve Alaimo, and when he wasn't cutting his own hits, Latimore acted as a house pianist for parent TK Records. Latimore moved to Malaco during the '80s, his appeal undiminished. Malaco remained Latimore's home until 2000; "Your welcome to ride" is the last record he released for the label. In 2007, Latimore established the Latstone label, releasing the "Back Atcha" album. He continued to record for the label and perform regularly into the late 2010s. He released 25 studion alboms and 70 odd 45,s in his career of singing sensual soul. I had a request for this particular album and for those who dont know him(what ???)the album is a good taster of his albums material. Might post his albums up in time🤣..like i have any!..Another true Soul Genius!
