Notes2008 release. Ty Karim was a stunning looking, tall and elegant LA Soul singer with a raw emotive vocal delivery. She recorded from the mid '60s to early '80s, mainly under the auspices of her second husband Kent "Boo-Ga-Loo" Harris. Her recordings were mainly original dance floor-inspired numbers, very dynamic and great vehicles for her husky voice. The '60s tracks are Northern Soul at it's best. The crossover funk of 'Wear Your Natural' presaged the '70s Soul sound that Ty also mastered and she worked through that decade with great acclaim for 'Lightin' Up' and then into the '80s when her 12" collaboration with George Griffin 'Keep on Doin' Whatcha Doin' gained her new overseas fans. Kent Harris has given US complete access to all his master tapes and we have found some great alternative takes on some of Ty's songs, including a great blues version of 'Lighten Up Baby'. The tape clarity is particularly good too, given the dubious sound quality of the previous bootlegs. 20 tracks. Kent.
