Feeling So Good

Sounds a bit like a more relaxed cousin to "Heartbeat", due to its soulful vocals, disco rhythm, and upbeat plinking synth riff during the chorus. The jazzy electric piano chords are a nice touch as well. This original release can be distinguished from the reissues/bootlegs by a few characteristics. While the original has a color-gradient label-background with a light green/grey undertone the reissues have plain black background. The text alignment is different as the original has a full line-spacing between "Records & Filmworks Inc." and "Chemise". On the reissues there is only a 1-2 milimeter spacing. Also the original says "33 1/3 RPM" and the reissues say "331/3 RPM". The lower round-text ends next to "Vocal" on the originals while it ends at the height of "RPM" on the reissues.

Originally released on the obscure La Shawn label back in 1980, "Take Me I'm Yours" is widely considered to be one of Patrick Adams' best productions. It's certainly something of a dusty gem, with Mary Clark's soulful, country-tinged vocals simply soaring over a reggae-tinged, string-drenched disco groove.

In the summer and fall of 1982, "Love Come Down" was all over Detroit and environs radio. At the Genopolis bar and club in Detroit's famed Greektown area, the disc jockey would spin this record early in the evening and when the opening chimes came through the loudspeakers, the patrons would throw down their drinks and cigarettes and rush to the dance floor. This record would get the party started. Slower in tempo than King's smash "Shame," but with a funkier groove, King proved that she was more than just a one-hit wonder with this release. Her strong and vibrant vocals are spot on and give the record the extra oomph that is needed to keep the listener interested - and dancing.

In all, Got To Be Real: The Columbia Anthology is a welcome addition to any R&B fan's music library, a comprehensive survey of Cheryl Lynn's best-known work that never fails to get the toes tapping and hips swaying. The impressive collection is available now wherever good music is sold.

"Hold Tight" is a 1981 single by Change from the LP entitled Miracles. The single's vocals were sung by Diva Gray. Along with the songs "Paradise" and "Heaven of My Life", it became a number one single on the US dance chart for five weeks.[1] It was also the second single released from "Miracles," as "Hold Tight" peaked at number 40 on Billboard's Soul Chart, and number 89 on the Billboard Hot 100.
