  Only 500 copies were pressed of this sole LP by Ohio soul singer Barbara Howard. Barbara has a beautiful voice and her interpretations of several soul classics is breathtaking. “Welcome home” is supported by plaintive horns and surpasses all other known versions. She does Aretha’s “Oh me Oh my” as well as “My song”; other beauties include the Doors’ “Light my fire” and “It’s not unusual”. What makes this LP stand out is the heartfelt and charmingly primitive production sound overall achieved by producer Steven Reece.

I remember Barbara, who I was friends with back in the day. Steve helped produce talent shows back then featuring awesome talent. Barbara's voice was distinct and beautiful. This album was definitely a classic. 30/1/2020 12:17:18 pm
This story really touched my soul, it really did. I mean, I want to be able to go and think about what I want to do. I mean, sure, this story is not as good as others, but that is not the point. The fact that it touched my heart is what's important to me. I want to keep on doing better things for myself, and maybe I can use this story to motivate myself to do better things. Leave a Reply. |
