OMNI - all for the one *** 1982 * Extra Rare

merci Bilou .

The second LP by this obscure group from Chicago who never really managed to crack the big time, but who managed to be one of the bigger independent soul acts of the early 80's. Like their first, this one was recorded in Chicago with a sound that's similar to some of the other modern soul stuff that was coming out of the city's crumbling soul scene -- good harmonies at the core, with all of the best songwriting elements of the glory days, but a bit more of a modern finish over the top. Still, Omni were always committed to a strong soul groove -- as you can tell from their back cover thanks and endorsements to Leroy Hutson, Frankie Knuckles, and other Chicago soul giants! Cuts include "Body Groove", "Just How Bad", "Leave It Up To Me", "Out Of My Hand", and "All For The One".
