Oattes Van Schaik (The Limit) 1985
Dutch soul, but with plenty of help from US talents -- including Gwen Guthrie on vocals and David Sanborn on saxes! Oattes Van Schaik is actually the duo of Bernard Oattes and Rob Van Shaik -- and the album was originally issued under the group name of The Limit in Europe, which was then changed upon its US debut -- kind of a clunky moniker that might have held the set back a bit, even though it's got a tightness that's right up there with US classics of the time. Many of the cuts are upbeat, but also have touch of class -- some jazziness in the instrumentation, which warms up the mostly male vocals. Gwen sings on the classic "Say Yeah" -- and other tracks include "Miracles", "Could This Be Love", "Love Attaxx", "Destiny", and "Crimes Of Passion".

ANGELA CHARLES and WINDSONG – Nightwind / 1987
An obscure jazzy stepper from Chicago! The album was cut for the tiny Windsong label in the mid 80s -- and it's a great mix of mellow soul with jazzier undercurrents -- all served up with a very classy approach, in keeping with some of the hipper sides of sophisticated soul at the time! The production's quite professional, despite the indie roots of the set -- and vocalist Angela Charles sings on most tracks with a depth that would make Phyllis Hyman proud, but in a mode that also includes some higher-end Minnie Riperton-styled vocal bits too. These are heard especially on the album's great cover of "Lovin' You", and on the great mellow jazz stepper "Love Me Baby" -- and other tracks include "Nightwind", "Falling In Love", and "Message To My Lover".
