HiRes音乐简介:
The worldwide digital debut of The Jimmy Castor Bunch's 1973 hidden gem, Dimension III. To say that Castor, a multi-talented R&B singer/songwriter/producer/arranger/saxophonist (and self-proclaimed“Everything Man”), had a colourful career would be an understatement. Starting as a doo-wop singer, by the age of 15 Castor (almost by accident) had become the author of a hit single when neighbourhood friends Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers covered his own group's I Promise To Remember as the follow-up totheir smash hit Why Do Fools Fall In Love, taking the song to No. 10 in the US R&B charts in 1957. Plying his trade as an arranger and studio musician for most of the next ten years, Castor would go from doo-wop singer to sax-playing Latin soul bandleader.
His new group landed a leftfield hit in 1967 with Hey Leroy (Your Mama's Calling You), a song that perfectly paired Castor's gonzo sense of humour with his ability to craft an irresistible groove. Castor's uncompromising attitude would lead to a fallout with the label that released Hey Leroy and he'd return to relative obscurity in the following years, but by late 1971 his band (now called The Jimmy Castor Bunch) had signed with RCA. His first album for the label (which one critic described as “grunge funk”) seemed destined to stay underground, but when FM radio DJs started playing the album cut Troglodyte (Cave Man) it became a word-of-mouth sensation. Released as a single in early 1972, it made it to the upper reaches of both the US Pop and R&B Top 10. A second album was rush-released by the end of the summer but underperformed, and an obvious cash-in single, (Luther the Anthropoid (ApeMan), didn't even crack the Top 100. Castor, who feared being pigeon holed, knew he had to change things up and Dimension III was the result. Eschewing much of the aforementioned “grunge funk” and scatological humour of his previous two RCA albums in favour of sophisticated horn and string arrangements and astronger focus on melodic songwriting, Dimension III sees Castor employing everyone of his many talents to great effect. Castor divided the album intovocal and instrumental sides, and the vocal side finds him tackling a wide array of R&B, from modern cinematic funk to sweet soul and even a little bit of the doo-wop of his youth. On the instrumental flipside, Castor stretches out as a soloist for the first time on one of his records, proving in the process that his sax playing may be the most polished of all his talents.
