ZULEMA - Zulema (1972)

Excellent early work by Zulema, high-minded and righteous Soul, with a really expansive sound that's in keeping with the best on Sussex at the time!! The arrangements are nicely complicated, arranged by Bobby Taylor and Gene Page with a good blend of Funk, righteous Soul, and some heavier themes, and even Zulema herself throws in some "special arrangements" for a few tracks. The tunes are mostly originals, sung in a heartfelt and rich style!!



Tracklisting:

1. I Leave It Up to You
2. This Child of Mine
3. If I Loved You
4. Maybe I'm Amazed
5. If This World Were Mine
6. Don't Be Afriad
7. Why Do I Love You
8. American Fruit, African Roots
9. Ain't It Sad
10. I Remember Mama
