Southside Movement And Jackie Ross (2023) P-VINE + Sheet Translated/English - Unreleased Promo LP 1981 Golden Ear - CD 2023 P-VINE Japan - Rare Soul/Funk (FLAC 371MB)

I spent all day yesterday searching for this rare gem and found it after hours of trawling through my collection in locations... Jackie was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1946. She sang gospel in church from an early age, but after her father died, she moved to Chicago with her mother at the age of 15 or 16. It seems that the reason she moved was because Sam Cooke recognized her talent. Jackie released her first single, "Hold Me/Hard Times" (1962), on Sir Records, which Cook founded. Then in 1964, she released "Selfish One" on Chess, which became a huge hit. This song, with its Motown-like brilliance, was later covered by Diana Ross and became a Chicago soul classic. She released her long-awaited album, "Full Bloom" (1964), also on Chess, but after that she only released singles and it took a while for her to release another album. She had to wait until 1980 for her second album, "A New Beginning For Jackie Ross," released by James Van Lear on Golden Year Records in Chicago & reviewed here last month. This LP is now a rare record.It's a long way around, but the collaborative album on this album was also made by Golden Year Records. It was probably produced in 1981, but was never officially released. The title is undecided, and the first track, "Cold Hearted Woman," is sometimes used as the album title. First of all, why did Southside Movement, an earthy funk band, and Jackie Ross, who sang glittering soul, collaborate? The common thread between them is James Van Lear, the label owner and producer of this album. Van Lear has not only been producing Southside Movement since their debut, but also managed Jackie Ross from 1971 to 1982. It seems that Jackie's promotion was not very active after the 1970s, so this album may not have been a high priority for him. However, is it too much to say that the collaboration between the two artists, who have different backgrounds and musical styles, unexpectedly created a chemical reaction. Only the first 6 tracks were on the unissued LP the rest were expanded by the japanese diggers at P-VINE. I also translated the INFO sheet.  You wont find this anywhere else (well others cant download it...lol!)
