WELCOME TO LPCDREISSUES
Formed and mentored by Millie Jackson, the Facts Of Life are best remembered for their mid- 1977 R&B Top 3/Pop Top 40 hit 'Sometimes'. Their recordings have been out-of-print for more than a quarter of a century, and are at last being reissued by Southbound by arrangement with their original producers, Brad Shapiro and Millie herself.
Something of a "soul supergroup", the FOL comprised Northern Soul hero Chuck 'I'm A Lover' Carter, former Flamingo Keith Williams and Tyrone Davis' sister Jean. Their recordings are much prized by Southern Soul aficionados. Listening to this set it's not hard to see why.
"Just The Facts" contains both of the group's original Kayvette albums, which include all of their single A-sides, plus a selection of non-album B-sides and alternative versions - their complete recordings in fact.
The perfect CD for anyone who's bought and enjoyed Kent's recent Southern Soul box and wants to explore the genre further.
