Zingara - Zingara (1981) By Papa Funk

*** Lamont Dozier ***
*** Helping Write And Produce ***

  
Lamont Dozier is the #1 songwriter in America. And for every #1 song that Lamont has written, Lamont has also produced it!

Going to be totally self indulgent here. Must still be feeling the after effects of the great Lamont Dozier concert that I went to a couple of weeks ago. Lamont Dozier? Well, 1981 must have been a really busy year for the man. Not only was he working on his 'Lamont Dozier' album for M & M Records, he was helping write and produce these two fine pieces of soul music. As I have stated before, the man is a genius.

Zingara are another four piece combo featuring Wali Ali, Karen Coleman, Rick Jones and Minor Williams. The vocal chores are, pretty well, shared between the whole band and, again, Lamont created another minor masterpiece. Over the years 'Love's Calling' and 'I Surrender' have satisfied the needs of many of Lamonts fans, however, as usual, I would like to bring a different tune, 'You Sho Know How To Love Me', to your attention. There was something about this period, in the history of soul music, that seemed to take a preference for the mid-tempo. The likes of 'Rising To The Top', 'It's A Pleasure', Hold Tight' all indicate where I am coming from. This tune is another that suits that period...and the test of time. I hope you will agree.
