Jay Dee - Come On In Love (LP 1974 Warner Bros - CD 2015 Expansion) Expanded Edition - Rare Soul (FLAC 302MB)

Earl Nelson has sung under different names, JACKIE LEE,EARL COSBY,& BOB & EARL in the famous duo. Here as Jay Dee he is in a more sophisicated mood with some stunning instumental tracks and sweet soul vibes. With production by Barry White,his best friend... and seven of its nine songs written or co-written by the "Walrus of Love", you would think that this one off release from Jay Dee was in reality all but a solo album from White. And you know what? You,d be right...almost. For while "Come On In Love" sports the trademark lush orchestration (with arrangements by Gene Page) and funky rhythms that made Barry White a superstar during the 70s, the artist Jay Dee was, if not an equal partner, a worthy front man. Born Earl Nelson, he first surfaced in 1963 as half of Bob & Earl on the hit Harlem Shuffle (which was arranged by you guessed it a young Barry White)! Then, as Jackie Lee he scored a huge novelty hit two years later with The Duck, which again had Barry in the background (the two co-composed the single s flip, Ooh Honey Baby ). Not to mention his many Northern Dancers from his days on the Mirwood label. So,this  album was actually a collaboration between two seasoned pros, and it showed it with a number of slow burning jams spearheaded by excellent soulful vocals from Jay/Earl/Jackie. This Expanded Edition includes two bonus tracks, both sides of the "Strange Funky Games and Things" single featuring the single edit and the rare long instrumental version under the name "Games and Funky Things", If you missed this one the first time around, don t miss it again!
