Description
This long-overdue reissue was produced with the full cooperation of the McCrary family and gives this remarkable record wide distribution and easy accessibility for the very first time since its initial low-key release over half a century ago. The McCrary family started out as a gospel group in their native Youngstown, Ohio but turned to secular music upon relocating to Los Angeles in 1970 and recording this album for the tiny Cats Eye label of Beverly Hills. The music veers between sophisticated, jazzy R&B (Charity McCrarys beautiful Matter Of Time) to occasionally grittier funk (as on Kung Fu). Be A Father To Your Son and People Run On Love bear messages that are still relevant decades later. The McCrarys would later gain wider recognition with their hit You featuring Stevie on harmonica and with Any Old Sunday which was memorably covered by Chaka Khan.
