Weldon Irvine, known for releasing numerous masterpieces in the 1970s, including Spirit Man from RCA Victor and Sinbad, which features his signature track "I Love You"
is the artist behind The Sisters. This album brings together recordings made during the same period, alongside collaborators like Don Blackman, with whom he worked closely, and a young Marcus Miller. Despite being created in the late 70s, these tracks remained unreleased until 1998.
The album opens with "Morning Sunrise," a sublime mellow soul track featuring Don Blackman's smooth vocals, which were later sampled by artists like Jay-Z and Drake.
It also includes "The Sisters," a track driven by Marcus Miller's groovy bass and Tom Browne’s sharp trumpet phrasing, as well as "Think I'll Stay A While," showcasing
the powerful voice of Tony Smith. Had this album been released in the 70s, it would have effortlessly matched the quality of Irvine’s contemporaneous works. With newly remastered sound and a Japanese obi strip, this release offers a perfect opportunity to enjoy a hidden gem from that era.
