I recently received this CD from 2-Funky records from the UK to review it. After some searching on the net I found that this debut album of Ray Robinson was already released earlier in august of 2004 on Reach records.

It's a R&B/Urban/Soul type of CD.

I must confess that I never heard of Arthur Ross till I received this reissue CD from vinyl-masterpiece.com. Guess what Arthur 'T-Boy' Ross is the brother of the legendary Motown, ex supremes, Diana Ross. Unfortunately Arthur died in 1996 on a age of 47 years. He, and his wife, were found murdered in a basement of a home in Detroit.

He was a songwriter at Motown and hooked up with Leon Ware and wrote hits for other Motown acts such as Michael Jackson, The Miracles and Marvin Gaye.

For Marvin he wrote together with Leon Ware the hit 'I Want You' and with this cover version he opens his debut album from 1979. His version is 'more' musical, more up-tempo and with superb female background vocals by Brenda Sutton, Anita Anderson, Carolyn Dennis. T-Boy Ross wrote each tracks in collaboration with other writers such as Crusaders member Joe Sample, Robert Winters and already mentioned Leon Ware.

All tracks are soulful with great melodies and beautiful 'The Jones Girls' like background vocals. My favorite tunes are 'I Want You', 'She's my lover', Somebody's sneaking and Peeking'. A Nice to have album. Available at vinyl-masterpiece. Click here to purchase the album.
