Gerald McCauley Wondering

Funk/Soul

7" TR726£6.99
In stockAdd to Bag

1. `Wondering feat Cold Diamond & Mink
2. Cold Diamond & Mink – Wondering Instrumental

"Wondering" that came as a result was brought to life by the singer and industry insider Gerald McCauley, who turned his soul inside out for the performance. In the past McCauley has worked as a musician, A&R man for example in a project involving George Benson and Al Jarreau and even produced a book and documentary on the history of the Fender Rhodes electric piano. Here he slips comfortably into the Cold Diamond & Mink groove, squeezing every drop of heartache on tape.
