In Tune

الوصف

Two albums, two CD debuts from the great Willie Hutch! Willie got his first big break writing producing and arranging songs for the 5th Dimension, but when he penned the lyrics to the Jackson 5's "I'll Be There;" Berry Gordy immediately hired him as a Motown writer, arranger and producer. After co-writing songs for Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, the Miracles and others, Hutch stepped into the spotlight as an artist in his own right for Motown, becoming a go-to Blaxploitation film score composer (The Mack; Foxy Brown) and scoring hits with "Brother's Gonna Work It Out," "Slick" and "Love Power". But in 1977 , Willie joined fellow Motown producer Norman Whitfield's own Whitfield label, where he cut the two disco/funk classics In Tune and Midnight Dancer, which married Whitfield's trademark psychedelic soul sound to his own sharp songwriting with a bit of Barry White thrown into the mix. Long requested by soul and disco fans worldwide these two records see their first reissue of any kind with these Real Gone releases, which feature added photos and liner notes by Gene Sculatti. Like the original notes on the back of Midnight Dancer proclaim, shake your donkey! Features the R&B chart hits "All American Funkathon" and "Paradise." From 1978.
