Description

Soulicious is the brand new album from Cliff. A 15-song collection featuring Cliff and some of the greatest voices ever in soul music including Percy Sledge, Roberta Flack, Billy Paul, Freda Payne, Peabo Bryson and many more. Review “Commendable soul project with all-star authenticity – Recorded at Willie Mitchell’s Royal Studios and Ardent in Memphis, and produced by Motown legend Lamont Dozier and his son Beau, or the late Nickolas Ashford and his partner Valerie Simpson. Also, Richard has strived for further authenticity by making each track a duet with some of soul music’s most respected names (Roberta Flack, Dennis Edwards, Freda Payne). There’s a fantastic energy to Cliff and Candi Staton getting down to Womack & Womack’s Teardrops, and a finger-clicking groove to James & Bobby Purify’s I’m Your Puppet, with Percy Sledge sharing the mic.” — Record Collector – November 2011 – ***
