Oranssi vinyyli.<\/p>\n
One of the most revered Deep Soul singers of the Sixties alongside the likes of James Carr, Percy Sledge and O. V. Wright\u2026<\/p>\n
EDDIE HOLMAN was born in Norfolk, Virginia in 1946. He was very much a child of the church\u2026 \u201cI have been in church all of my life, from the start of singing to this very day.\u201d And it is the influence of the black Methodist singers that have guided his career from early perfomances on NBC TV\u2019s Children\u2019s Hour to his world-wide million-selling hit \u2018Hey There Lonely Girl\u2019.<\/p>\n
UNITED features many musical elements of the “old” Eddie Holman, even down to using many of the same musicians who played on some of his old soul hits who were to find fame with Gamble & Huff\u2019s MFSB. It was recorded at Philly\u2019s world-famous Sigma Sound Studio with Norman Harris on guitar, Ronnie Baker on bass and keyboardist Eugene Curry who gave United a firm rhythmic bedrock on which to build Eddie\u2019s intricate vocal patterns. The songs, all self-penned, dug deep, from the doowop flavoured title track which features some of Eddie’s best vocal ducks and swirls, to the funky \u2018Thank You For Saving Me\u2019. And the lilting \u2018Eternal Love\u2019 has one of the most spinetingling five seconds of music ever recorded\u2026 the word “Jesus” broken into a 12-syllable falsetto soar.<\/p>\n
On the original UK release of United, Mark Webster of Blues & Soul wrote, \u201cOn the musical level, Eddie has complete control over his amazing vocal range: his glowing tenor and exceptional falsetto peaks ring out with joy and ease. On the spiritual level, within the lyrics, Eddie is telling us how he has now found true fulfilment through \u2018welcoming the Lord inside him to be his Saviour\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cEddie Holman’s voice, an astonishing precision instrument which can leap octaves with the speed of mercury and bend notes into shapes unimagined by lesser singers, has assured its possessor a place in soul history.\u201d Tony Cummings, 1985<\/p>\n
