UK IMPORT. BLACK VINYL LP. *HEADS UP, OUR COPIES OF THIS RELEASE ARE SHOWING UP LATE, BUT SHOULD BE HERE BY THE WEEK OF JULY 6th."Jazz keyboardist Bob James' debut solo LP, "One", was released in April 1974. It reached #2 on the Billboard Top Jazz Albums chart and even crossed over to the US pop chart, where it peaked at #85. CTI released three singles from the album - James' take on Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky's 'Night On Bald Mountain', his version of Johann Pachelbel's 'In The Garden' and a cover of Eugene McDaniels' 'Feel Like Making Love' - the latter was the only chart entry, peaking at #88 on the Billboard Hot 100. Although he went on to enjoy success with subsequent albums, "One" had an enduring appeal. The advent of hip-hop saw producers and artists like Public Enemy and A Tribe Called Quest sample and incorporate James' composition 'Nautilus' into their own songs. It is now one of the most sampled tracks in American music history." Show more
