Brenton Wood - Come Softly (1977) Cream + Bonus Tracks - Rare soul (MP3 114MB)

I got a request for the compilation by Brenton on Westend records. Unfortunatley i dont have it but the good news is that abum consists of his "Come Softly" LP. I have all the other tracks from that CD bar 2 tracks so i,ve thrown them in as bonus tracks. Born Alfred Jesse Smith in 1941 in Shreveport, Louisiana. he recorded nine albums and 60 + 45,s in his career. Early singles for Brent Records and Wand Records failed to chart. Wood signed with Double Shot Records, and his novelty song "The Oogum Boogum Song" reached No. 19 on the US Billboard R&B chart and No. 34 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the spring of 1967. Wood's biggest hit came a few months later, as "Gimme Little Sign" hit No. 9 on the pop chart, No. 19 on the R&B charts, and No. 8 in the UK Singles Chart. It sold over one million copies; and was awarded a gold disc. The title is not actually sung in the song; the chorus instead repeats "Give Me Some Kind of Sign". Wood's "Baby You Got It" (1967) peaked at No. 34 on the Hot 100 during the last week of 1967  His backing band during the 1960s was the L.A. based Kent and The Candidates, which was led by drummer Kent Sprague, they also recorded several singles for the Double Shot label.He went on to form his own record label Mr Wood & continued touring. In 2024, Brenton Wood announced his farewell tour "Catch You On The Rebound": The Last Tour. Brenton was hospitalized in May 2024, pausing his tour and ending his career. One of the most underated performers to have graced the soul scene,i think he is still alive but needs confirmation. Bonus tracks listed under the back Cover.
