It takes the veteranos a little while to get up to speed, but once we get that momentum going, we're very hard to stop ! So here we are again, in scarcely the blink of an eye, with yet another volume in our Oldtimer series.The title speaks for itself and and as before you'll find the expected classics plus a few out of left field. Hardly surprising that Peaches & Herb are represented here twice; they instantly spring to mind when duets are mentioned. Of course, there were several combinations of personnel using the name and it's one of the early pairings that feature on the cover. Marvin is in a couple of times too - again, only to be expected, as he is synonymous with this genre. There are two versions here of "I Want You 'Round", the better known one from Marvin & Kim plus an unreleased cut from Mary Wells & Smokey. In case you think we are suffering from gender confusion the "Johnnie" on track #04 is actually Johnnie Louise Richardson. Also, many combos had a crack at the song on track #23, such as Peabo Bryson with both Patti Austin and Roberta Flack; Roberta had a go at it with Donny Hathaway too; but the one featured on this set is the original version. We assume that the almost deathly silence in response to this series is because you are too busy enjoying the tunes to comment; certainly there have been many, many downloads so that is why we feel obliged to continue. So listen out for more to come. The Veteranos
