Now for something guaranteed to rejuvenate even the most tired of dancing feet. It is the sensationally old school, ‘It’s Alright With Me’ from the legendary Jean Carne. Coming as it does with an equally good instrumental version it proves to be a fine example of that decidedly sixties phenomenon the ‘EP’ and, for soul lovers everywhere, should make the perfect Christmas stocking filler..
Jean Carne began her career with her then-husband, Doug Carne, who has well as being a pianist was also the founder of Black Jazz Records. After recording three albums together, Jean started doing back-up vocals for Earth Wind & Fire and Norman Connors. She went solo in1977 and played a pivotal role in the development of Philly soul with Gamble & Huff, Dexter Wansel and McFadden and Whitehead all producing and writing for her.
Truth to tell her creativity has never waned and her distinctive voice remains in top form. Recently, she released the critically acclaimed album ‘Flashback’ which included the wonderful Skip Scarborough composition ’It's Alright With Me’.
