Loyalty and love

From Harlem to Helsinki, the language of Carlton Jumel Smith only speaks loyalty and love. The smooth, vintage groove of 1634 Lexington Avenue traces the upbringing of an 8-year-old James Brown-fanatic, singing his way from New York’s Puerto Rican district to dedicated entertainer clicking with the cooler climes of Finland’s finest soul label, Timmion and respected producers, Cold Diamond & Mink.

Channelling warmth, positivity and only good vibes, like every note escaping from his soaring vocal range, Carlton Jumel Smith is an infectious human being. Putting the “show” into show business, he emits a dedication to his craft and whilst performing at Helsinki’s Casino Ray, a happy coincidence would change his life forever. “I saw this Finnish cat named Pratt (of Pratt & Moody) tear the stage up with his smooth soul singing. After inviting me onstage, we jammed and connected. Following the show, I went to meet some Finnish friends and during dinner they pulled out a 45rpm they thought I’d like—lo and behold it was Pratt & Moody!”

As the needle hit the grooves, Carlton took it as a sign. He contacted Pratt and in no time, found himself among the vintage instruments and analogue recording equipment of Timmion’s offices, singing “I Can’t Love You Anymore,” which would become his first single on the label. “It was like walking into a time machine and being transported back to the early days of Motown and Stax,” recalls Carlton. “It makes you feel like you’re going to record a soul classic.”


Soul classics

If there’s one thing Carlton knows, it’s soul classics. In the summer 1968, while sitting on the fire escape of apartment 4S at1634 Lexington Avenue a fourth-floor walk-up in located in Spanish Harlem he would lap up the energy of the neighborhood known as El Barrio.

His mother would constantly play the 45 records of Wilson Pickett, Isaac Hayes, Barry White, and Aretha Franklin, and in a life altering moment one evening she took him to see James Brown (who he would eventually portray in Barry Levinson’s feature length film, Liberty Heights) at Harlem’s Apollo theatre; “The curtains opened, and he came out in a royal blue suit with a diamond pinky ring that sparkled up to where we were sitting in the balcony,” remembers Carlton. “He was amazing. Other boys wanted to be Batman, Superman, or the Lone Ranger. I wanted to be James Brown. That time was when music was real, organic and created by some of the most talented/creative people to exist. They were at the peak of their powers.”

As the sound of soul artists of the day filled the flat, Carlton’s mother would sing and dance to each note whilst his Puerto Rican Godmother Carmen Rodriguez would play the passionate and vibrant Latino music of Tito Puente, Willie Colon, Celia Cruz and the Fania All-Stars. “The music was intoxicating, you could get swept up in the rhythms and Salsa dance all night long. My mother was my first DJ! She kept my mind open with the records she played. I still have all of her records, albums, cassettes and 8 tracks.”
