Chocolate Star
Gary Davis
Released:
Jun 2006
Label:
Traffic
Gary Davis -- a New Jersey producer/multi-instrumentalist -- had the good luck to record during a late-'70s era when various strands of urban music were beginning to fuse, and Chocolate Star might be the best funk/soul/disco hybrid you've (probably) never heard. With its tinkling piano line accented by a swinging rhythm, "Gee Dee" is beautiful and funky. But it isn't until the middle half that the album really takes off. "Gotta Get Your Love" is Davis' crowning achievement, though the steamy electro-funk of "The Professor Here" and the goofy "The Pop" are equally irresistible.
