Bobby Womack: The Poet II 1984 release
From the album cover art, I was expecting some cheezy 80s synth. pop but not at all. Many tunes are hugely gospel influenced with powerful voice of Patti Labelle, the album is filled with funky power ballad in a striding tempo.
Ends with a tune called 'American Dream' with the voice clip from Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous speech under over Womack's soulful voice.

My Prescription
1969 & 1970
now that's Bobby Womack 
and anything from American Studios when he was helping Chips Moman
One of my favourite artists who, I had the pleasure of meeting after one of his gigs in the 70's. If you like this one try the album before The Poet which contains one of my all time fav Womack songs "If you think your'e lonely now", it is a fabulous album.
Think I will join you.

I have seen this pop up a couple of times here, so thought I'd check it out on Tidal. WOW love it. First listen and I am hooked.
Oh my! Why would you be interested in this? Where do I start? Easier if you have a listen.
Very much agree. I'm hoping she'll be performing some of this album when I see her at the Royal Festival Hall tomorrow evening.

This Album just gets better every time. Well worth a listen.
The on to this. I had played this to death when it was release. Very much enjoying it tonight.

On vinyl. Classic Records pressing.
Music of Chen Peixun, Maurice Ravel, Sergei Rachmaninov and Tan Dun. Playing as well as sound are outstanding. So far, it is my clear choice for 2015's best.

On vinyl. What a great live band they were.
Glenn Gould : Goldberg Variations 1955 version Mono
Blazing fast and absolutely exhilarating. He’s completely giddy. Each note so clear it's refreshing.
It's perhaps a spoon-fed rhythmic structure, in that he shows a tremendous technical skills but can sound a tad monotonous and/or have me twitching from all that nervous energy.
Scarlatti-ish Bach.
The '81 sets shows more contemplative maturity.
