Pure Pleasure - By My Side

Whether you call it Modern Or Sweet Soul, this is a fantastic tune. Rich with deep soul roots and entrenched in gospel this is truly an anthem. It speaks of great sorrow, regret and of love lost. To have a love in your clutches and to have taken it for granted. Jeez! Man, I'm right there with you. I guess why after a first few listens (to get the lyrics right), and when ever it plays I HAVE to sing along. It's definitely a personal anthem of mine. I can deeply relate to the lyrical content and enjoy the structural changes in the song. The syncopated stops and starts and the free almost rapping tone that goes on sends chills up my spine. The vocalist here is truly testifyin' and I'm assuming (if you're with me) that we are at attention. Amen!
Released in 1980 on QC records it's an example of how strong 'soul music' is throughout time. There are no boundaries for good soul music. It's a timeless tune and we hope you enjoy it.
