Penny Goodwin "Portrait of a Gemini" CD
★First limited production
★Paper jacket specification
Free soul fans will be thrilled! A rare soul/jazz vocal album with an R&B feel that was once considered a legendary album in the club scene! A must-have for collectors! The love calls from the crowd are unstoppable! The latest reissue of a classic that is perfect for this age of diversity!
This is a masterpiece by jazz singer Penny Goodwin, recorded for Milwaukee's Sydney Enterprises between 1973 and 1974. As it was released on a private label, only 2,000 copies were pressed at the time, making it a rare work that has become a phantom item among collectors. The cover of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" with its funky and mellow arrangement is particularly popular. The cover of Gil Scott Heron's "Lady Day & John Coltrane" has a fast-paced feel that will satisfy even mods! Backed by a luxurious lineup of Richard Evans, Phil Upchurch, Morris Jennings, and others, the diverse and rich musicality that combines jazz, R&B, and gospel has made it famous overnight thanks to the introduction by Mr. MURO and the strong respect and strong recommendations from many famous DJs. Starting with a cover of "What's Going On," this album is a must-have for diggers and DJs, featuring soulful, R&B-inspired vocals and a lovely jazz sound!
