Die aus Detroit stammende Künstlerin Alicia Myers machte sich zunächst als Leadsängerin der R&B/Dance-Formation One Way einen Namen, bevor sie zwischen 1981 und 1984 vier Solo-Alben auf MCA Records veröffentlichte.
Die folgende Veröffentlichung vereint ihre beiden Alben "Alicia" und "Alicia Again" auf einer CD. Beide Alben erschienen 1981 innerhalb von nur acht Monaten und wurden von Al Perkins produziert. Als Gastmusiker standen ihr Musiker wie Larry Fratangel (Parliament, Funkadelic), Bruce Nazarian (Johnnie Taylor, The Temptations, Brides Of Funkenstein) oder Corky Meadows zur Seite. Das Booklet beinhaltet informative Linernotes des Journalisten Lewis Dene und Ausschnitte aus einem aktuellen Interview mit Alicia.
Product Information
The former lead singer with the R&B/dance music group One Way, Detroit-born Alicia Myers had a total of four albums released on MCA Records between 1981-84, experiencing varying degrees success with each. Produced by songwriter and One Way bass player Kevin McCord and multi-instrumentalist Al Perkins, the 1981 LP Alicia – previously only available on CD in Japan – contained two tracks that have long been favourites among soul music collectors on both sides of the Atlantic: the gospel-influenced ‘I Want To Thank You’ (a US Top 40 R&B hit) and the rare groove gem, ‘If You Play Your Cards Right.’ The album spent six months on the US R&B charts. Released just eight months after her well-received MCA debut, Alicia Again – reissued for the first time worldwide with this 2012 SoulMusic. com Records two-on-one CD – was also produced by Al Perkins and was a family affair including a number of song penned by Alicia’s bassist brother Jackie and her siblings Evalyn and Aaron with Jackie on background vocals. Musicians included guitarist Bruce Nazarian (Johnnie Taylor, the Temptations, and Brides of Funkenstein); Parliament-Funkadelic percussionist Larry Fratangelo; and One Way keyboardist Corky Meadows.
