Description
RE-PRESS: CD ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2015
- Thelma Houston’s second album for Motown from 1977, containing the Grammy-award winning multi- selling single ‘Don’t Leave Me This Way’ which had previously been a hit for Harold Melvin And The Bluenotes.
- Expanded edition featuring six bonus tracks, including the single version of that hit and its none- LP B-side.
- Plus none-album singles including the Grammy- winning “You’ve Been Doing Wrong So Long’ and the ultra-rare ‘Don’t You Know Where You Going To’ (previously only released in New Zealand) which was later recorded by Diana Ross for the theme to her film Mahogany.
- Includes liner notes by SoulMusic founder David Nathan, with quotes from Thelma.
THELMA HOUSTON FIRST SIGNED WITH MOTOWN RECORDS IN 1971, FOLLOWING THE 1969 RELEASE OF HER CRITICALLY-ACCLAIMED JIM WEBB-PRODUCED ALBUM ‘SUNSHOWER’. HER SELF-TITLED DEBUT MOTOWN ALBUM WAS RELEASED ON MOWEST IN 1972 (AND RE- ISSUED BY SOULMUSIC RECORDS AS AN EXPANDED EDITION IN 2012).
IN 1977, MOTOWN ASSEMBLED A SECOND ALBUM ‘ANY WAY YOU LIKE IT’ AND INCLUDED WAS A COVER THAT ALTERED THELMA’S CAREER TRAJECTORY FOREVER – HER TAKE ON ‘DON’T LEAVE ME THIS WAY’. AFTER A BOSTON RECORD POOL OF CLUB DJS BEGAN PLAYING IT AND GETTING IMMEDIATE REACTION, IT WAS RELEASED AS A SINGLE AND BECAME A GRAMMY-WINNING GLOBAL HIT FOR THELMA, TOPPING THE US POP, R&B AND DANCE CHARTS.
