Description
Legendary guitarist Larry Carlton pays tribute to the song writing magic of Gamble and Huff, on this album of his jazzy interpretations of their classic soul songs, including "Back Stabbers" and "If You Don't Know Me By Now."
Nineteen-time Grammy nominee, four-time Grammy winner and all-time guitar great, Larry Carlton established himself from his first recording, A Little Help From My Friends. His studio credits include musicians and groups like Steely Dan, Joni Mitchell, Michael Jackson, Sammy Davis Jr., Herb Alpert, Quincy Jones, Bobby Bland, Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt and literally dozens of others. He went on to perform with the Crusaders and then with the multi platinum jazz super group Fourplay. With 30 albums to his credit and having performed on over 100 albums that have gone Gold or Platinum, Larry Carlton has set a standard for artistry that spans three decades.
Since 1963, the songwriting and producing team of Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff has earned 175 gold and platinum records, defining an entire category of Black popular music known as "The Sound of Philadelphia". They were inducted into the National Academy of Popular Music Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1995, and were awarded the prestigious Grammy Trustees Award from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences in 1999.
