Windy City - Let Me Ride (Chi-Sound 1977)This aptly titled Chicago harmony soul quintet signed to Carl Davis' Chi-Sound label a year prior to releasing this blissfully soulful album, Let Me Ride. A beautiful record which is packed with many magical mid-tempo moments, including three gems ('Win Or Lose', 'Fool Or Your Man', 'Good Guys Don't Always Win') from the pen of deep soul genius Sam Dees. The slow burning title-track is almost acapella and displays their amazing harmonies to full effect, whilst the exceptionally mellow final cut 'If By Chance' takes the tempo down yet another notch. Although this is their only album, they did manage to release a later single on the Chi-Sound subsidiary Kelli-Arts, the awesome double-header 'I Still Love You / Just For You'. Magical soul.
