J R Bailey – Just Me N' You

J R Bailey – Just Me N' You (MAM 1974)
For one of the all-time underground soul classics, look no further than this gem of an album. Still unknown to many unfortunate ears, J R Bailey and his Just Me N' You set is comparable with soul's greatest. Like many cult soul artists, Bailey penned all of this beautiful album and numerous soul classics for other performers. A few highlights to mention, although there are many, are the sublime opus "After Hours / Heaven On Earth", and the original versions of "Love Love Love" (also recorded by Donny Hathaway) and the title-track (later cut by Eramus Hall). This is an album overdue wider critical acclaim, acquire it if you can.
