Charles Earland

Limited reissue of a massively in-demand 1980s soul/funk classic 12'' from the mighty Charles Earland. Originally a soul-jazz organist, Earland turned his hand to a more disco/funk sound later in his career with some seriously explosive consequences as evidenced here on this near impossible to find promo-only release. A firm favourite of discerning DJs such as Gilles Peterson, Theo Parrish and Moodymann, the title track Coming To You Live is is a seriously classy slice of soul heaven with layers of funky slap bass, horns and silky smooth vocals from Earland’s wife Sheryl Kendricks - pure dancefloor dynamite! Flip over for the more mellow yet equally gorgeous and soulful ‘I Will Never Tell’ with its beautiful breathy vocals and masterful organ work. Essential!
