Aretha Franklin "Jump To It" アレサ記録ずくめのアルバム、USオリジナル盤。 1981年6月~1982年、Mediasound Studios, NYC 録音、1982年7月リリース。 1983年2月1日RIAAゴールド認定... グラミー賞ノミネート... Best Soul Albumのアメリカンミュージック賞を受賞... 10回目のR&Bアルバム1位獲得で7週連続は当時の記録... POP 23位... 1976年「スパークル」以来初めてのゴールド認定ディスク... タイトルトラック「ジャンプ・トゥ・イット」は、1976年のアレサ初のポップ・トップ40... 1977年の「ブレイク・イット・ユー・ミー・ジェントル」以来初めてのR&Bヒット! 82~83年と言えば、サーファー・ディスコ末期... 。日本ではディスコの深夜営業が禁止になるなど一気に凋落... 。 そんな時期ではあるものの世相を反映したアレサのダンクラ(ダンス・クラシック)としては傑作との評。当時プロデューサーとして手腕を発揮始めていたLuther Vandrossの才能だと。アレサが大好きだったと公言するルーサーが、80年代のテイストに合わアレサの魅力を見事に引き出した傑作との評。 6曲目以外はほぼ同じメンバー、一番まとまり感のあるアルバムとも言えると高い評価も。音質もクリアで、歌唱力が際立ちます。 Side 1-1."Jump to It" ルーサー自身もコーラスの他、ヴォーカル・アレンジにも参加(これをアレサは不服に感じていて、火花バチバチだったそう)。何とNat Adderly Jr. のキーボードにMarcus Miller のベース!1stカットPOP24位・R&Bチャートでは4週連続1位! 1-2."Love Me Right (ft. Luther Vandross)" フィーチャー表記はないが、ほぼルーサーとの共演作。アドリブ的にヴォーカル参加したり、アレサ&ルーサー・ファンとしては嬉しいトラック。2ndカットR&B22位、12インチや長尺ヴァージョンも発表。 1-3."If She Don't Want Your Lovin'" 1-1同様、ルーサーバックメンバー(Cissy Houston 含む)のコーラス、アダルト・コンテンポラリー・ナンバー。 1-4."This Is for Real" 前曲以上にスムースでシルキーさにも似たヴォーカル・アレンジメント。3rdカットR&B66位。 Side 2-1."(It's Just) Your Love" 曲が美しく、アレサは水を得た魚のように歌唱。 2-2."I Wanna Make It up to You (with Levi Stubbs)" Four Topsのリーヴァイ・スタップスとのデュエット。Four Tops メンバーやアレサの姉Erma Franklinもバック・ヴォーカルに参加したバラード。当時、双方に共演を熱望していた?アレサも、Four Topsのモータウン復帰作にてデュエット。 2-3."It's Your Thing" 70年代後半のファンク・ディスコ風、アレサのチャレンジ。 2-4."Just My Daydream" アレサとルーサーがヴォーカル・アレンジを担当。1972年"Day Dreaming"をサンプリングした楽曲。 本作、1曲1曲の存在感は強くいけど、サラリとした仕上がりで意外と聴きやすいです。女性ソロヴォーカルによるダンクラ・アルバムを選ぶとしたら、絶対に外せない!と。 #ArethaFranklin , #LutherVandross , #NatAdderlyJr , #MarcusMiller , #CissyHouston , #LeviStubbs , #ErmaFranklin , #FourTops #soulmusic #fuzey #soulsinger #queenofsoul #vinyl #vinylcollection #soulrecords #recordcollection #arethafranklintribute #gospel #アレサフランクリン #ソウルミュージック #ゴスペル #レコード https://www.instagram.com/p/B4WNQ99Jpqz/?igshid=143o6bz491sgo

👍 Reposted from @joproulx_ - An amazing documentary that came out last April directed by @nickbroomfield on Whitney. Sad to read in the papers this September Bobby Brown admit she’d still be alive if they hadn’t pushed away Robin. She self-medicated. Robin moved on...as if anyone could ever really move on after Whitney. Her cover of I Will Always Love You. Intimate. #whitneyhouston #robincrawford #cissyhouston #bobbybrown #nickbroomfield #sammitchell - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BzENakgJCwU/?igshid=64v7c3zi4h9i
A week late but I want to say Rest in Peace to one of my mother’s, Whitney Houston. I still want to do a clothing line for you and work with Ms. Cissy. I also want to do a hat line with New Era Caps. My dream will come true I just know it. I met you on numerous occasions and you were very nice to me each time. I miss you Mama and think about you every day. Thanks for the memories. I love you so much! 💜 #whitney #whitneyhouston #whitneyelizabethhouston #wh #restinpeace #rip #newera #neweracaps #cissy #cissyhouston #singer https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt_69vGDHx9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ce3demsute87
Tonight on my @kmhd_jazz_radio radio show I’ll bid farewell to #ClydieKing who passed away on Jan 7. It was just recently that I shared this clip of #VenettaFields & Clydie from the 70s version of “A Star Is Born”. . Clydie & Venetta provided backup vocals on countless records from the 60s & 70s. In fact, as the music industry became more homogenized in the 1970s & opportunities for soul singers began to dwindle, artists who once had burgeoning solo soul careers found themselves being called in to soulfully enhance records by white pop and rock stars throughout the 1970s. Sometimes the back-up artists were given credit, often times they were little more than a fine print, liner note listing (if that). . Tonight, along with Clydie, during the 10 pm hour, I will feature soul recordings released by women backup singers: #MerryClayton, #GloriaJones, #CissyHouston, #PatLewis, #ClaudiaLennear, #JeanKing, and more! Join me tonight and each Thursday 9 - 11 pm at 89.1 fm!

"Being around people like Aretha Franklin and Gladys Knight, Dionne Warwick and Roberta Flack, all these greats, I was taught to listen and observe."
