Little Stevie Wonder - Castles In The Sand / Thank You. 1964 Tamla. From the RT collection (Dec). Admittedly outside of my interest area, but I did listen to both sides. Pleasant RnB / Soul I suppose. Little Stevie could certainly sing, that's for sure. And he was only 14 at this point.
Prince - Controversy. 1981 Warner Bros. (LP) Thrift shop find (Dec). I always think I'm going to like Prince more than I do. After all he's an accomplished guitarist with an interest in funk and psychedelic. But the music - at least of what I've heard - tends more towards soul and disco. This is a good album, very much what I would associate Prince with. And the subject matter could use a bath I think?
Dick Jensen. 1973 Philadelphia International (LP). From Independent (Nov). This album made me laugh. Philly Soul meets.... Hawaii. Don Ho leads MFSB. Worth 50 cents to hear on my stereo at least once.
* - Keeping for the collection
