Hello again and welcome to another installment of SHINDIGGITness. I've been out digging and searching for more musical crack to satisfy my insatiable vinyl needs and seem to have lost focus on this dear little blog of mine. For that, I apologize. Now let me introduce you to Mr. Arthur Prysock. With his sad demise in 1997, Arthur had a huge recording history already firmly tucked into his belt. His most notable hits were in the 40's and 50's with a surprise hit in 1977 the disco ditty "When Love is New". This soul nugget came a few years earlier in 1970 and while I say soul, there is a STRONG gospel vibe and a VERY VERY VERY funky bass line. All in all, mixed with his Lou Rawls silky smooth baritone, this song has everything I've ever wanted in a song. It is a favourite of mine and while not a raunchy funk extravaganza nor a northern floorshaker, I think you may agree that although he was pushing 40 when this was recorded, the man was good. As a special treat I decided to post another track from this LP....but DIVshare was giving me serious problems this evening. Come back later this week and I'll add it to the post. If you dug this track, I'm sure you'll dig the other one I was planning. Enjoy!
