Somos Novios – The Three Degrees

Posted on April 3, 2017 by Billy Beyond

I’m dead. This Latin drama (coming first from Mexico and here by way of Philadelphia) vibrating through the angelic trinity known to us as, “The Three Degrees” equates, for me, a lethal overdose of a soul sonic sound drug. (But, “It’s Impossible,” you say. Correct. Yes it is to most…but for a moment, in a recordng studio in 1975, on an album titled, “International” that would soon be released by Philadelphia International Records, it was a new hybrid sound we’ll call simply, Spanish Philly Soul.) There’s just no other way to put it… and no video. You’ll have to see it in your own minds, my readers.

Now, listen. Listen at your own risk but rest assured because it’s merely a temporary death. You’ll be back to life, listening to Sia and The Weekend in about four minutes.

We’re Lovers

we’re lovers

as we both feel a mutual & profound love

and with that, we have already won the biggest prize (prize not included in text, however, in English, cannot simply say biggest)

of this world

we make love (love each other), we kiss

as lovers

we desire each other & sometimes even without a reason

& without cause, we fight (get angry)

we’re lovers

we nurture an innocent and pure love

as everyone does

we wait for night time (lit.: we seek for the darkest moment, but in English we don’t express it this way)

to talk to each other

to give each other the sweetest kiss

to remember the colour of the cherries

without words, we’re lovers

Seconds – The Salsoul Orchestra featuring Loleatta Holloway

Posted on February 21, 2017 by Billy Beyond

No words are necessary with this post because there ARE no words that can describe, relate or capture the many aspects of this classic Loleatta track.

This is the Salsoul Orchestra original extended 12″ mix and is the highest quality mp3.

You Can’t Squeeze The Charmin If You Ain’t Got No Money, Baby.

The Most Percolating Version of “Runaway” That Everybody Needs

Posted on October 31, 2015 by Billy Beyond

This mostly instrumental version of Loleatta Holloway‘s “Runaway” recorded by The Salsoul Orchestra in all their glory could actually make your hip slip – so be careful.

FACTOID : Vincent Montana Jr. was the group’s founder, producer, arranger, conductor, primary songwriter and featured soloist. So pretty much a very large portion of all our Disco Classics came right outta this guy right here. Thanks Vince. R.I.P.

In any case – this is thee Salsoul track that will give you extra credit when your DJ and discophile friends are within earshot. Any of the classic disco dances are appropriate here – you could even bust a Lady Kier one foot wobble on this track because it is HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY and Vincent Montana Jr.‘s vibes vibe is clyassy! You can actually hear him singing along to his own playing on this version!

Oooh dat’s jus so classy. Mmmm.
