VINCENT MONTANA, JR. & THE PHILLY SOUND ORCHESTRA
Featuring WILLIAM `SMOKE' HOWARD

"THAT'S WHAT LOVE DOES" [PHILLYSOUNDWORKS, PSW 12001]

Sound samples at the label site:

A1) Louis Benedetti's Club Vox

A2) Vincent Montana, Jr. Original Mix
http://www.phillysoundworks.com/audi...VMJOrigVox.mp3
B1) Louis Benedetti's Classic Dub

B2) Louis Benedetti's Reprise Dub
http://www.phillysoundworks.com/audi...RepriseDub.mp3

I've only heard the Club Vox mix so far but it's a goodie with a nice soulful house feel to it. The vocalist William "Smoke" Howard is new to me but he sounds like a combination of Teddy Pendergrass and Bebe Winans and that's not a bad thing.

Love it! The Vince Montana original mix has real Salsoul Orchestra sound to it but doesn't sound dated.

Full info on this great new release has been up in the CD section of this site for a while at http://www.discomusic.com/cds-more/6140_0_3_0_C/

I'll soon find out from Vince when it gets a full wide-scale release.

Great review there Bernie, I completely agree with your points.
Anyone know what else William Smoke Howard has done?

Actually, I can't take credit for that at all because it's the press release Vince gave me :oops: It's meant as a placeholder until I can add in my words as I just recently received the promo CD, which should be released shortly.

Having said that, I really do enjoy this release very, very much. It's smooth, laid back, classy yet funky and very catchy. Did I mention it had strings and vibes in it! Listen to all the layers it has and you'll appreciate this even more. With all the various mixes it is sure to appeal to just about everyone.

BTW: This is the project that Vince was working on earlier this year when he suffered his heart attack(s).

Yeah, that original mix reminds me of Look Me Up or some of those other Atlantic recordings like Sons of Robin Stone's Got To Get You Back.
