  TEDDY PENDERGRASS  Teddy Pendergrass  (PIR,1977) - Soul       It was only a matter of time before Teddy Pendergrass would leave Harold Melvin & the Bluenotes, the group he’d made his name in. As their lead singer, he had delighted with his gospel-influenced vocals on hits such as If You Don’t Know Me By Now and the uplifting Wake Up Everybody. In 1977, he finally went solo.      His self-titled debut album captures some of his greatest performances. Backed by PIR’s house band, MFSB, it is an underrated example of orchestrated soul. I Don’t Love You Anymore is a huge, upbeat anthem about, well, divorce. Pendergrass will sort out the financial side of things, and then scarper: “But we can’t live together, this way will be much better”.  The More I Get, The More I Want is a frantic floor-filler, and its breakdown, focusing on the bass, is one of the most inspirational in 70s soul.

  GIL SCOTT-HERON  Pieces Of A Man  (Flying Dutchman,1971) - Jazz funk, Soul       The militant godfather of spoken word, Gill Scott-Heron was a poet, musician and author.       He grew up in Chicago but soon moved to New York. Following the publication of his first book The Vulture in 1970 he embarked on what would be a prolific recording career. His second album Pieces of a Man from 1971 featured some of his most recognisable works in The Revolution Will Not Be Televised and Home Is Where The Hatred Is. The album is a great example of his lyrical prowess and perfectly showcases the depths of his vocal talent.

  BOZ SCAGGS  Down Two Then Left  (Columbia,1977) - Pop,Rock,Soul       Boz Scaggs was originally a guitarist with the Steve Miller Band, who left in 1969 to launch a solo career that peaked in the mid-1970's with a couple of hit singles, "Lido Shuffle" and "Hollywood" (the latter included on this album).       The album was produced by Joe Wissert, who also produced  Silk Degrees  in a similar mold, with the musicians creating an 'atmosphere' for Scaggs - there's no impression of a 'band' in the usual sense, a move that can be traced to the Johnny Bristol produced  Slow Dancer . And like  Silk Degrees , the songs here ease their way into your awareness, it's an insidious process.

        Serving the needs of Rammstein’s music, Riedel is a playful player who mixes up open notes, root notes, chord progressions and, sometimes just matches the guitar riff, while offering the occasional fill. Sure, they’re all pretty standard expectations of a bassist, but Riedel keeps Rammstein from being too rigid and mechanical, which is critical to their worldwide success.
