More You Do It/Love In All Flavours

Digitally re-mastered two-fer containing a pair of albums from the vocalist on one CD. Ronnie Dyson was a Broadway star before making records. He grew up in New York, taking to the stage in 1960 's and ultimately voicing one of the decade's best known show tunes "Aquarius". The albums we present here were Ronnie's third and fourth for the Columbia label and represent the complete set of songs recorded by the artist produced by Chuck Jackson and Marvin Yancy. The style was a departure from what Ronnie had recorded previously but similar to the sound the producers had brought to hits for Natalie Cole. Listen to Natalie's song "This Will Be" from 1975 and compare with Ronnie's single "Close to You" in 1976, the year in fact that Marvin Yancy married Natalie Cole. Lush arrangements by Gene Page and Richard Evans determine this music definitive luxury soul. There's also some incredible 70 's soul music here that's been preserved from the original master tapes and brought on CD for the first time.
