Bunny Sigler - Let The Good Times Roll & (Feel So Good) (Stereo Version) (LP 1967 Parkway-Digital 2017 ABKCO) - Rare Soul (FLAC) 212MB

Philadelphia soul legend the late great Bunny sigler,s debut album, & what a way to introduce yourself to the music business with this dynamite of an album littered with Northern classics!...Bunny was born Walter Sigler in 1941 in Philly & sadly passed in 2017 in Philly. He recorded a total of 12 studio albums and 50+45,s. was given the nickname 'Bunny', suggested by his mother, who said he looked like an 'Easter Bunny'. He was also known as 'Mr Emotions' during his early career. Bunny's early aspirations were in basketball playing, prior to becoming a singer and songwriter. At times he varied his surname as a solo performing artist, performing under the names O’Sigler, Sligowitz, Bundino Siggalucci and De Siglio for tax purposes. Bunny first recorded for the Philadelphia based V-Tone Records label in 1959 as part of a doo-wop group called the Opals (who featured: Bunny Sigler, James Sigler(his brother), Ritchie Rome And Jack Faith. He also worked with several Philly Doo-Wop group's including the Cruisers. In the 70's, he set aside his recording career in order to concentrate on songwriting. Bunny penned songs for Jackie Moore, Joe Simon, the Three Degrees, O'Jays, The Intruders and Billy Paul, most of whom were Philadelphia International Records artists. For a short period, Bunny joined Phil Hurtt, Jackie Moore, LeBaron Taylor, and Tony Bell as a member of the group The Young Professionals, who released the single 'Let's Get It On' for the Atco imprint (a version of the Marvin Gaye evergreen). In 1973, Sigler returned to the charts on Philadelphia International Records with a remake of the old Bobby Lewis's hit 'Tossin' And Turnin' (number 38 R & B). Bunny worked with disco artists and groups like Double Exposure, First Choice, Linda Clifford and Force Of Nature (4). However he was primarily concerned with his group Instant Funk, who provided the instrumentation for many of his solo records. Bunny Sigler was originally signed to Philadelphia International Records, but signed to the Gold Mind Records subsidiary label of Salsoul Records in 1977, where his first album yielded the Tom Moulton mixed disco hit. He went on to record for Curtom,Gold mind, Salsoul, Legacy as well as his own Bunz Music label..A true legend and this album is still priceless a piece of soul gold!..My parkway album is worn to shit so i was very happy to obtain this digi copy. I did post this on the old blog in mp3 so now in glorious flac! A superb flawless album, every track is perfection (to me anyway!)
