Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of albums by the R&B/Soul act on one CD: This package brings together the last two albums by Rose Royce for Norman Whitfield's label, released in 1980 and 1981. These albums feature the talents of new vocalist Richee Benson, alongside Kenny Copeland. Included is the single 'Golden Touch' as well as the full 12 minute version of the hit 'R.R. Express. The booklet features a 3000 word note by Blues & Soul contributor Tony Rounce.
~Edsel Records
Without question, Rose Royce suffered a major loss when lead vocalist Gwen "Rose" Dickey left the band in 1979. But as memorable as her contributions were as much as fans adored her 1980's Golden Touch proved that she wasn't indispensable. Rose Royce still had a gem of a lead singer in falsetto Kenny Copeland and Dickey's female replacement Richee Benson proved that she was no slouch either. Benson doesn't sound anything like her predecessor, as Dickey's vocals had a girlish sweetness and that isn't the case with the husky-voiced Benson. But the new replacement is charismatic in her own way, and she proves herself to be a deserving addition to the band on the dreamy title song as well as the lovely ballad "And You Wish For Yesterday." Copeland, meanwhile, has some memorable spots on the medium-tempo "Love Is in the Air," the Stylistics-like "Would You Please Be Mine," and the funky "I Wanna Make It With You" (not to be confused with the Bread hit). And all of the singers contribute to "Funkin' Around," a very fun slice of Parliament-influenced p-funk. Golden Touch isn't among Rose Royce's essential albums, but it's a solid, respectable effort that illustrates the band's ability to carry on without Dickey.
