Norman Connors Presents Aquarian Dream – Aquarian Dream
Out of stock
$18.00
“In 1976, Norman Connors was hot in the R&B market. Having enjoyed major hits with “Valentine Love” and “You Are My Starship,” the Philadelphia jazz improviser-turned-soul-star was being denounced as a sellout by jazz’s hardcore while commanding a lot of respect in R&B circles. So when Connors produced Aquarian Dream’s debut album, Norman Connors Presents Aquarian Dream, in 1976, it should have done well. However, this little-known LP was a commercial disappointment (by R&B standards) despite Connors’ presence and despite the fact that the material is generally respectable. The album detours into instrumental jazz-funk on “East 6th Street,” but for the most part, it favors a sleek, sophisticated soul/funk approach that could be described as Connors-meets-New Birth-meets-Earth, Wind & Fire. Dream has an impressive lead singer in Gloria Jones, whose gospel-influenced belting serves the band well on cuts that range from the exuberant yet sentimental “I’ll Always Love You, T” and the mystical “Phoenix” to the gritty “Guitar Talk.”” – allmusic.com
