BLACK IVORY - ANTHOLOGY
Amazing music from one of the coolest vocal groups of the
70s – a hip New York trio who never hit the heights of the Jackson 5 or
Chi-Lites, but who are maybe even more important to our ears overall! Black
Ivory started young – with a harmony style that was incredible for their age,
and which was perfect for both funky numbers and late nite ballads, in a way
that was similar to The Whatnauts – and as the 70s moved on, they also grew up
and found a style that worked well for clubbier material – which they crafted
in a way that was surprisingly strong, and far different from any of the disco
cliches of the period. Even in the early 80s, they could hang around the
farther reaches of the soul scene – keeping an indie harmony vibe strong when
others were losing steam. All the best aspects of the group's sound are
collected here – in an overstuffed, double-length package that includes the
cuts "Walking Downtown", "Big Apple Rock",
"Surrender", "I Keep Asking Questions", "Just Leave Me
Some", "Wishful Thinking", "You & I", "Don't
Turn Around", "Find The One Who Loves You", "I'll Find A
Way", "Spinning Around", "We Made It", "Love
Won't You Stay", "Mainline", "White Wind", and
"You Are My Lover". CD also features "I Got My Eye On You (ext
12" version)", the 1984 version of "You & I",
"Longer Ride", "No One Else", "What Goes Around",
and "Our Future". ~ Dusty Groove
