Rainy Night in Georgia: The Complete Reprise & Cotillion

Rainy Night in Georgia: The Complete Reprise & Cotillion Singles A's & B's (2-CD Set)

Heâ€™s one of the all-time great soul balladeers, with 58 pop and 38 R&B hits to his credit, and his beautiful baritone is one of the most recognizable voices in all of pop and soul music, but Brook Benton has never had any kind of collection devoted to his last great body of work, the Jimmy Bowen-produced sides he recorded for Reprise and the Arif Mardin-produced material he recorded for Cotillion during the late â€˜60s and early â€˜70s. Now, in true Real Gone fashion, weâ€™ve put together a two-CD package that includes the A and B-side of every single side Benton recorded for the two labels, all but one (see below) in their original mono single mixes and, after an exhaustive vault search, all but three from original tape sources. These 31 sides display a staggering stylistic versatility ranging from R&B takes on pop standards like â€œMy Wayâ€ (yes, that song can be funky, and itâ€™s here in a rare stereo single mix!), â€œI Gotta Be Me,â€ and â€œThe Glory of Love,â€ to gospel songs like â€œIf You Think God Is Dead,â€ topical tunes like â€œHeaven Help Us Allâ€ and â€œA Black Child Canâ€™t Smile,â€ and, of course, some Southern-dipped soul like the #1 R&B hit â€œRainy Night in Georgiaâ€ and the seven single sides he recorded with the Dixie Flyers, including the hits â€œShoesâ€ and â€œDonâ€™t It Make You Want to Go Home.â€ Remastered by Mike Milchner at SonicVision and annotated by Gene Sculatti, Rainy Night in Georgiaâ€”The Complete Reprise & Cotillion Singles Aâ€™s & Bâ€™s is a major soul find and deserves a place on the shelf right next to Brookâ€™s classic Mercury material.
