Lee Moses – Time and Place (Maple, 1971)

​The Maple label out of New York holds some of the greatest LP’s in the soul canon, for instance the Gloria Barnes LP, The Chosen Few and George Scott. Lee Moses takes the biscuit for me, because his growling monster of a voice is such a phenomenon it cannot be matched by anybody else. The LP is a masterpiece full of classic songs, the very best of which is the to die for deep ballad “What you don’t want me to be”, where Lee shows the power of restraint.
