Wah Wah Watson – Elementary
Chicago-born singer-songwriter Euegene Record released his first solo album titled The Eugene Record in 1977 showcasing his impressive range and musicality. The album was recorded after Record’s departure from the successful soul/funk group The Chi-Lites, which he co-founded in the 1960s, and represents a significant moment in his career as a solo artist. Track A3 “Here Comes The Sun” was perfectly sampled by De La Soul in 2003 on their track “He Comes.” Another standout track is A4 “Overdose Of Joy,“ with its catchy melody, uplifting lyrics, and lively instrumentation making it a hard to ignore feel-good tune. From funky grooves to tender ballads, Record covers a range of emotions and musical styles, crafting a timeless album that you never get tired of listening to. – Ally
