As part of its well-received and critically acclaimed anthology series, SoulMusic Records is excited to present "Go Away Little Boy - The Columbia Anthology", a musically rich retrospective of soul/jazz legend Marlena's work for Columbia, cut between 1977-1980. Initially established in the pantheon of contemporary music in the mid-'60s after signing with Cadet Records, an imprint of renowned Chess Records in Chicago, New York state-born Marlena gained initial popularity with her vocal readings of 'Wade In The Water' and 'Mercy, Mercy, Mercy'. In 1977, Marlena signed with Columbia, working with renowned producer/arranger Bert DeCoteaux. Marlena's debut LP, "Sweet Beginnings" spawned the now-famous 'Yu-Ma/Go Away Little Boy', with her wry, truth-tellin' spoken rap and a new version of the Goffin & King song she had cut in 1966. The track became Marlena's biggest hit and established her as a popular entertainer with R&B audiences worldwide. 1978's "Acting Up" included the theme from the hit movie of the day, 'Looking For Mr. Goodbar'; while Marlena's third album for Columbia, "Take A Bite" (reissued as an expanded edition by SoulMusic Records) created a new following among dance music lovers thanks to its 'A' side (tagged 'Suite Seventeen' and including a reworking of Diana Ross's 'Touch Me In The Morning' and the original 'Love Dancin'').
