Welcome Back Remastered - Classic Revival Album | Perfect for Home Listening, Road Trips & Relaxation

Blue Magic s 1981 Capitol release, WELCOME BACK, arrived at a time when soul and R&B music had resurfaced as a popular genre yet in a different manner.While heavy funk grooves & well-crafted ballads driven by rhythm sections/horns/strings were the norm in the 1970s, the rise of synthesizers & drum machines in the 80s resulted in light pop-driven arrangements evident in hits by Ray Parker Jr. & Raydio ( A Woman Needs Love ) and the Four Tops ( When She Was My Girl ). Instead of following this trend, Blue Magic (lead singer Ted Wizard Mills, Keith Beaton, Vernon Sawyer & Wendell Sawyer) as well as producer Norman Harris & his crew of session musicians (members of MFSB) stuck with the winning formula that made the group successful and met with resistance from the industry.The Welcome Back album was recorded at Alpha International Studios. I felt that the engineers who manned the sessions really didn t know how to capture the sound of our music.For disco lovers everywhere, this was a golden album of that era, and it NEVER gets old. Welcome Back brings back so many wonderful memories which makes the release are truly timeless classic.
