Faith Hope & Charity (Expanded Edition)

Faith Hope & Charity (Expanded Edition)

Making its worldwide CD debut, the self-titled 1975 RCA debut by the trio Faith Hope & Charity was produced by the renowned producer, songwriter and artist in his own right, Van McCoy.

Hailing from Tampa, Florida, the original group (then known as The Lovelles) was formed in 1966 and consisted of Albert Bailey, Brenda Hilliard and Zulema Cusseaux. After touring with Sam & Dave, the trio signed with Maxwell Records, where they scored their first hit single in 1970 with So Much Love, which was produced by McCoy, who had been instrumental in securing their first record deal. After switching to Sussex Records, Cusseaux left for a solo career, and in 1975, Hilliard ( Faith ) and Bailey ( Hope ) were joined by Dianne Destry ( Charity ) just prior to signing a new contract with RCA, where they reunited with Van McCoy as their producer.

The self-album Faith Hope & Charity became the trio s best seller (reaching #24 R&B and #100 Pop on Billboard s charts), spurred on by the success of the No. 1 R&B chart-topping single To Each His Own (#2 Disco Singles, #50 Pop, #4 Dance Music/Club Play Singles), with Mellow Me also reaching #9 on the Disco Singles chart. In the U.K., the trio s version of Doris Troy s classic Just One Look also reached the Top 40.

This Real Gone Music/SoulMusic Records reissue is an expanded edition featuring three single edits as bonus tracks and liner notes by SoulMusic Records David Nathan. Remastered at Sony s own Battery Studios in NYC--a disco essential!
