this album can be the instrument to mend a broken heart, or to straighten out your life ... A MUST!
through the sincere Testimony
in the songs
of The Revelaires
From Don Dixon, producer:
We were working on the vocal for 7 Chinese Brothers, but Michael just wasnt into it. He was down in his stairwell. I hit the talk-back to let him know I was coming through to make an adjustment
This was just an excuse to take a look at him, see if I could loosen him up a little.
While I was in the attic, Id noticed a stack of old records that had been taken up there to die, local R&B and gospel stuff mostly. I grabbed the one off the top (a gospel record entitled The Joy of Knowing Jesus by the Revelaires) and as I passed Michael on the way to the Control Room, I tossed it down to him. I thought he might be amused.
When I fired up the tape a few seconds later, Michael was singing, but not the lyrics to 7 Chinese Brothers. He was singing the liner notes to the LP Id tossed him. When Michael began to sing these liner notes, he was much louder than hed been earlier and it took a few seconds for me to realize what was going on and adjust the levels.
He made it all the way through the song, working in every word on the back of that album! I rewound the tape, we had a chuckle and proceeded to sing the beautiful one-take vocal of the real words that you hear on Reckoning. He seemed more confident after that day.
