Finesse

Digitally remastered edition of this 1984 release. Glenn's voice has a very heavy gospel influence to it and when laid atop a soulful track it makes for a very unique sound. Glenn's ability to adapt to whatever is put in front of him is tested on the Finesse recording as when asked to sing a song like LaLa Cope's "Show Me" an R&B song that not too many vocalists could deliver, he excels. His vocals bridge the (small) gap between R&B and Gospel once again showing off his almost endless range. The emotions on this song are sincere and the vocals are not over produced. Synth bass, acoustic piano, synth bells, expertly crafted background vocals and a heavily plucked Guitar made this sound Unique. Producers Jacques Fred Petrus and Mauro Malavasi are the Godfathers of this sound. They gave way to upcoming producers such as Kashif, The System (Mic Murphy in particular- having worked with Jacques Fred Petrus was the connecting bridge), Jam & Lewis, Wayne Brathwaite, Barry Eastmond and Producer & Guitarist Steve Horton. The last 3 named play a pivotal role on this recording. Never before Expanded on CD. Remastered from the original studio master tapes. Limited Edition Press. Collectable Item Includes 3 Bonus Tracks.
