Repost/Upgrade to flac from the old blog by request. One of the best philly soul albums ever recorded. Charles Mann was born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1949 & passed in 1991. He was a R&B songwriter, soul singer, record producer and musician. He worked during the 1970s and was very active in Philadelphia during the Philly Sound explosion. He built up a reputation as a writer and performer in the Atlanta area initially, which allowed him to be spotted by Jay Lasker, then president of ABC Records, who signed him for the label at the beginning of 1973 as a songwriter, often in partnership with the legendary Dave Crawford, he wrote and composed for artists such as B.B. King, The Mighty Clouds of Joy and Nature's Gift. He obtained five hits in the R&B Top 100, including one hit in the Top 10 (I Like to Live the Love by B.B. King in 1973).As a solo singer, he had a minor hit in 1973 with the song '"It's All Over", a track from his Philadelphia recorded album reviewed here today also Produced by Dave Crawford, the title track reached #36 on the Billboard R&B chart, as well as gaining extensive play on the UK Northern Scene, so much so that my good friend John vincent the main jock at Northern Club SAMANTHAS in Sheffield adopted it as their ending record. From 1977, he worked as a writer, arranger and producer for two labels owned by a company based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, which had to stop its activities in 1980 for illegally marketing bootleg recordings. Only 2 studio albums recorded and a few 45,s but this album is a Soul Masterpiece IMHO and still in great demand with collectors.
