    Expansions SOUL TOGETHERNESS series presents a fantastic tribute to one of soul music’s finest composers, the late Skip Scarborough. The talent behind mullti platinum albums, multi million selling singles and Grammy Award winning songs has written or co-written all the songs on this collection sung by a star studded line up of soul superstars.
    All 18 recordings here are originals from the mid-70s and early 80s, many released here for the first time ever on CD. The package comes with previously unseen photos of the man himself.

    Skip Scarborough is one of soul's great unsung heroes. The Baton Rouge born writer has penned some of soul's most memorable love songs but for whatever reason his name's not up there with the "greats". Hopefully this new 18 track Expansion compilation will help put matters right. It's been put together by Ralph Tee with the help of Skip's wife, Alton McClain Scarborough, and between them they've selected some truly classic readings of Skip's best songs.
    It starts with Maxi Anderson's 1977 'Lover To Lover' and ends with Bobby Humphrey's 'Dancin' To Keep From Cryin'' – recorded in the same year. In between there's some big names – Earth Wind And Fire, Dionne Warwick, The Emotions, Phyllis Hyman, Freda Payne, Jerry Butler and Thelma Houston. The last two duet on the Motown dancer 'Let's Get Together' and it's one of the album's real high spots. Other goodies include Wilbert Longmire's laid back 'Love's Holiday' and Rockie Robbins' 'I Can Hardly Wait' (that one produced by the great Johnny Pate – another undervalued soul back room man!)
    Everyone of a certain vintage will find absolute favourites here – I keep coming back to the delicious melody of LTD's 'Love Ballad'… a truly great song and a reminder of what a fabulous vocalist Jeffery Osborne is. Good too to see that Alton McClain and Destiny have an inclusion. It's their 1981 Polydor outing, 'Why Did You Love Me' – as typical of the art and craft of skip Scarborough as any other cut here. Skip sadly died in 2003 and Alton is working hard via a musical charity to keep his name out there. This lovely album is bound to help.

    The Expansion label's Ralph Tee admits that The Skip Scarborough Songbook is not a definitive anthology, but such a thing would be impossible within the space of one disc. What's missing? Hits like the Friends of Distinction's "Love Me or Let Me Be Lonely" and Bill Withers' "Lovely Day," along with deep treasures like Bobbi Humphrey's "The Trip" and Harvey Mason's "Pack Up Your Bags," for starters. George Benson's version of "Love Ballad" (a number three R&B hit in 1979) could just as easily be here instead of L.T.D.'s original (a 1976 R&B chart-topper), and as far as "Can't Hide Love" is concerned – represented here by Dionne Warwick's version – take your pick between Creative Source, Carmen McRae, Earth, Wind & Fire, and even Jaye P. Morgan (among others). No matter what, the disc is a fine and overdue showcase for Scarborough, who thrived during the mid-'70s through the early '80s with a series of soaring and positive love songs, some of which – like Earth, Wind & Fire's self-named song – were imbued with spirituality. He even granted heartache queen Phyllis Hyman one of her few happy moments with the bursting "Living Inside Your Love." Mother's Finest's "Love Changes," Patti LaBelle's "It's Alright with Me," Maxi Anderson's "Lover to Lover," and Wilbert Longmire's overlooked version of "Love's Holiday" (originally recorded by EW&F) are among the other selections that all fans of smooth soul should possess.
