Gwen McCrae - On My Way (1982) [2013, Japan]

Posted By: BlondStyle

Date: 13 Jan 2023 18:19:05

Remastered reissue of this 1982 album from the Southern Soul/Dance diva including bonus tracks. McCrae is a gutsy Southern Soul diva with a particular affinity for dance tracks. Along with her husband George ('Rock Your Baby'), Gwen was part of the Miami-based T.K. Records stable, which laid a great deal of groundwork for the Disco explosion in the mid '70s. On My Way, released in 1982, contained her club hit 'Keep The Fire Burning', a staple of the UK rare groove scene.
