Doris Duke – I’m A Loser

[bluesy]

Ok.

L'album A Legend In Her Own Time est de 1971 ou 1975 : sur Dusty Groove c'est indiqué 1975 et sur un blog 1971. Album non listé sur Discogs.

EDIT : réponse trouvée sur Soulbugalu, c'est 1971.

B1. "Pick Up The Pieces" : il y a un lien avec les Average White Band ?

non, c'est une reprise de la version chantée par Carla Thomas à Wattstax (je ne sais pas si c'est la première à l'avoir chantée). Le morceau est composé par Davis/Barker/Briggs.

UP !

De la Deep Soul Symphonique !
Avec un chef d'oeuvre absolu "He's Gone" : des notes de piano comme des perles, une batterie dont les pulsations semblent venir du plus profond des canyons, vertigineux lorsque la symphonie démarre ...

Et comme cet album paru (d'après certains sites) le dernier week-end de décembre 1969, il figurera dans mon Best Of 69 !

Trouvé sur sirshambling, le site de la Deep Soul :
"When interviewed by John Abbey for “Blues & Soul” magazine in 1973, Doris Dukeshe recalled: “Jerry cut the tracks and all I had to do was come in and sing so I could never be entirely happy with the situation. He never caught the real me”. Despite these views, certainly her “I’m A Loser” album would become one genuinely revered by deep soul fans. One of the first ‘concept’ albums, it would be released during the last weeks of 1969 but was just preceded by her first Canyon 28 single of the album tracks “To The Other Woman” and “I Don’t Care Anymore” which would enter the US R&B single chart on 11 February 1970 and peak at No.7 during an 11-week run, as well as making No.50 on Billboard’s Hot 100. The album itself would enter Billboard’s US Top 50 Soul LP chart on 28 March 1970 where it would spend 9 weeks and peak at No.39."
