Yes. Even though Otis Clay became pretty well known late in life, he never really got his due. I consider him to be one of the true greats.

Yep .... he was somehow reccuringly "at the wrong time at the wrong place", as his initial album for Hi Records was shaded by the marketing efforts for Al Green, his excellent late 70`s recordings released on Victor had apart from Japan limited circulation, Waylo - although granting wordwide concert performances - had production flows and Bullseye Blues tried to place him within the latementioned genre (to capitalize on "Soul Blues") .....

Bill Nelson Posted December 27, 2023 Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 Also from '79: Andre Crouch with Jay Graydon ('Peg'), Michael Omartian, and David Hungate (Toto) -- much like EW&F and Steely Dan's 'FM'. Check how the band takes it out after the sax solo at 3:13 This contemporary gospel might get me de-frocked by the Soul Pope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
