The Music of: Salsoul Records
Following the incredible quantity of downloads last week of both Disco! and Disco! Vol.2 it seemed only sensible to follow up with a label synonymous for some of the most lavish, warm, rich and funky dance tracks ever made: Salsoul Records. A label that was founded in 1974 by the three Cayre Brothers: Joe, Ken & Stanley, the name Salsoul originates from a blending of the words Salsa and Soul.
Only nine tracks feature here in this first edition, as most tracks run between 5 – 7 minutes long. The exception though is Loleatta Holloway, who provides us with the original 12” disco mix of Hit & Run over a storming 11 minutes! Notable tracks are also in evidence from First Choice – twice, Cameron, The Jammers, Skyy – before their reincarnation to New York Skyy, The Strangers and The Sweethearts of Sigma, who became better known as the vocal part of the group Metropolis.
This is a series that has the making of many editions; we hope you enjoy where we begin to tell the story.
