Soul Train's A Comin',
By Soulchild'sA'Comin' (Queens, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: You and I (Audio Cassette)
This tape/lp was released the same year I was born, 1983. 1983 was the year black music was transforming almost completely into eletronic. We all know black musicians like Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, and Prince were dominating the pop and black music charts. We all know that Kashif, Leon Sylvers III, The System, and Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis were topping the black music charts by successfully producing for several other artists and themselves. Now what do they have in common with a multi-instrumentalist young artist from North Carolina? All these things, except that he got cheated because of the strong competition, but his sophmore still managed to reach the top 15 on the black album charts. Unlike his debut album which seemed to be a bit mature and traditional for O'Bryan, You & I was more loose, energetic, electronic, and diverse for all to enjoy. His biggest hit on the album, "I'm Freaky" is one of my favorite jams as well as the "Soul Train's A Comin'"(last track on the album) of which the latter was used for several years for Soul Train's Theme Song. The produced jams reminds me much of a cross between Prince and Leon Sylvers' produced work. "Together Always" and the top 20 R&B title track were the most enduring and made performances on Soul Train, contant airplay on Quiet Storm stations, and made it to many Old School Quiet Storm compilations in the 1990's and early 2000's. "Soft Touch" was a "blow your mind" yet very beautiful instrumental that allowed O'Bryan to step out of the box with the Quincy Jones inspiration. The rest of the songs were fillers that were worth listening to, of which makes the entire album worth every penny for any R&B lover/collector, and I strongly suggest that they re-release it, but this time for itunes. If they did it for other lesser known R&B artists like Grady Harrell and Lillo Thomas, then what is taking so long for Right Stuff Records to do it for O'Bryan??

one badd underrated Brother,
This review is from: You and I (Vinyl)
O'bryan was and is still the truth musically, cat could sing, play and write which in this day in and age is a novel concept, i mean he brought the goods, i'm freaky was the cut, his remake of King Stevie Wonder's "you and I" is soulful but his theme song for soul train in the end all be all soul train theme song to soul train IMO. O'bryan had that cold deep background vocals and his lead vocals were the stone cold truth on his funky vamps and beats.
a true Unsung Artist, he is one of the 5 most underrated R&B artists ever to me, he should have been bigger, very talented cat. bro man is one of the coldest to bring the cuts fast and slow. Jerri curl jams and cool.
