The Temprees - From the Heart (2016)

Legendary Stax Records vocal trio The Temprees, present their smooth harmonies and grooves on their new album, From The Heart, on Point 3 Records. Produced by longtime fan and musical genius, Angelo Earl at Soulstreet Recording Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Angelo gathered up some of the city s best players to help create something new for the longstanding trio. The result; is a lush, groove-driven collection of songs; that cover the gamut of love and life with a little bit of fun.
Bringing their past success into the future, this trio s sound still stands tall today with original members, Deljuan Del Calvin, Harold Scotty Scott, and new member Walter Bo Washington. Scotty and Deljuan have known each other since they were teens, with a career spanning about 45 years. After the passing of one of the original singers, the late member, Jasper "Jabo" Phillips in 2001, they took a break to focus on family. Now back, years later they are stronger than ever.

The Temprees were a part of something very special at Stax Records, something that didn t have any boundaries: human or musical. They lived within miles of the famed building located at McLemore and College, and this allowed them to be a part of community-family based group. You can hear the Memphis trio s soul sounds weave in and out of today s music from pop to blues to hip-hop.

From The Heart is brand new, it s lush, fresh and smooth as silk. Producer and songwriter, Angelo Earl, a multi-talented seasoned musician himself, pulled out the vocalists magical sounds with a snap of his fingers. His resume is very impressive for he has played with some of the best bands and singers in the world, like Al Green, Jody Whatley, and Dr Dre. All the songs were written by Deljuan Calvin and Angelo Earl himself except Reasons, a 1975 Maurice White and Phillip Bailey penned tune, that was on an Earth, Wind & Fire recording called, That's the Way of the World. Maurice White, who passed away this spring, was a fellow Memphian and friend.
