Description
The Voices Of East Harlem were an ensemble of vocalists who recorded two albums under the direction of Leroy Hutson and Curtis Mayfield. From “The Voices of East Harlem� in 1973 came three singles. “Cashing In� remains the best known and most sight after. It’s appeal is to both northern soul and modern soul audiences, especially fans of Leroy Hutson’s work here as co-writer and producer. “Giving Love� was the biggest commercial hit from the album in the USA and “Wanted Dead Or Alive� remains a rare groove classic. “Little People� has been a DJ Norman Jaye spin since the rare groove scene days. From “Can You Feel It� in 1974 came a Leroy Hutson production close to what the artist was doing on his own Curtom albums. “Can You Feel It� and “Rare So Rare� remain particularly popular alongside a dance track “Take A Stand� (now for the first time on a Soul Brother 7� with “Cashing In�), and the rare groove “March Across The Land� (also recorded by Linda Clifford), all tracks on this album in some way contributing to the demand and first legal reissue in two decades from owner Michael Lang, promoter of the original Woodstock music festival.
