One in a Million- Songs of Sam Dees / Various

UK collection. Admired by discerning Soul fans as a singer and a writer, it is Sam Dees compositions which have earned him the greatest admiration of his peer group singers and musicians over the last 40 years, interpreted by some of the biggest-selling artists in black American music. Named in honor of his million-selling, chart-topping hit for ex-Sly and the Family Stone bassist Larry Graham, One in a Million offers a selection of his songbook from the early '70s to the mid '80s. It includes many of his biggest and best-known songs from that timeframe plus several great obscurities that deserve to be as well known. It's not easy to distil a catalogue of this caliber into one representative 22-track CD, but Kent are sure that this one will tick all the boxes for devotees. Includes tracks by John Edwards, Johnnie Taylor, Jackie Wilson, Millie Jackson, Anita Ward, L.T.D., Loleatta Holloway and many others.
