Listen to the letter
Seawind - Seawind
One of the good things about the internet was how it changed access to previously hard-to-find records. As a result I ended up paying £70 for this off eBay, which is about what a decent copy would cost nowadays, allowing for inflation and all that. That’s what I’m telling myself anyway.
Of course, I wanted it for Sunday-afternoon-session-at-a-soul-weekender-sing-along He Loves You. I'm sure this was colloquially referred to as Listen To The Letter back in the old days.
I didn’t realise until I sat down and listened to the record properly that the He in question is the Big He up in the sky and the album has an awful lot of bothering of Him on it. If I was old mate God, I’d be well-pleased that someone recorded such a beautiful flugelhorn solo in my name (big up Jerry Hey) and I would have it piped through the heavens on repeat.
Other than He Loves You, the album is pretty average jazz-funk fodder.
