Description
Odyssey started life as The Lopez Singers, a female vocal group from Connecticut, in 1968. The original line up was the three Lopez sisters Carmen, Lillian and Louise, however Carmen left soon after and was replaced by Filipino singer and bassist Tony Reynolds. It was this line-up which went on to have worldwide success with the hit single 'Native New Yorker' in 1977, taken from their debut self-titled LP 'Odyssey', which was the first of their albums to be re-issued by BBR.
'Hollywood Party Tonight' was the follow up to their successful debut and was originally released in 1978. By this point Tony Reynolds had left the fold to be replaced by Billy McEachern, who helped the group take their sophomore LP to #72 on the US R&B album chart and #123 on the Billboard 200. Despite this line-up change, the group maintained their soft, laid back style of soul-pop with inflections of jazz and Caribbean sounds to greater depths than on their debut LP.
'Hollywood Party Tonight' is an essential purchase for all R&B, Soul, Pop and Disco fans out there!
