 Willie Hutch was one of Soul music’s greatest underground songwriters, composers, producers and singers. His musical genius was not rewarded with the commercial success that it deserved. His name should be revered in the same way as his contemporaries Curtis Mayfield, Donny Hathaway Leroy Hutson and Leon Ware.These albums illustrate Willie’s distinctive very rhythmic sound, with full on production featuring strings, horns, and Willie’s so soulful gritty voice. It was the sound of it’s time, the backdrop to Blaxploitation movies, the sound of the street. It is no surprise that Willie composed the Soundtracks for two of the most popular Blaxploitation movies ‘The Mack’ and ‘Foxy Brown’. The sound was made popular again in the late 80’s/early 90’s in the ‘Rare Groove’ scene in London and his music has sampled by numerous hip-hop acts.
We are very proud to make available on CD for the first time Willie Hutch’s first three (non soundtrack) albums. These albums are very special and have been remastered from the original tapes and sound incredibly fresh.
