Sonny Charles & The Checkmates, Ltd. / Sonny Charles - Black Pearl / Half As Much

Description
Sonny Charles & The Checkmates, Ltd. bring “Black Pearl” to the heart of this soul release, where a strong vocal presence and the genre’s blend of feeling and rhythmic drive make room for a memorable song. Soul has always held space for both polished arrangement and raw emotion, and that balance gives this record its character. The reverse offers Sonny Charles with “Half As Much,” a separate turn that keeps the focus on the voice and the song. Issued by A&M Records / Forget Me Nots as catalog 8560, this United States pressing connects two titles through the distinctive soul tradition of direct, expressive singing.
