The best R&B songwriter and soul singer that most people have never heard of, Sam Dees has written songs for countless artists, including Gladys Knight, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, George Benson, the Temptations, Teddy Pendergrass, Millie Jackson, Jackie Wilson, the Manhattans, Regina Belle, KC & the Sunshine Band, Willie Clayton, and many others. He's also a pretty fine singer, having recorded for the Chess, Atlantic, Polydor, and SSS labels, and he had a nice string of his own hits in the 1970s. His 1975 Atlantic album "The Show Must Go On" has long been regarded by Southern soul aficionados as one of the best of the genre. Sounding a bit like a deeper-voiced Curtis Mayfield (in both style and theme), Dees sings with assurance, wisdom, passion, and a whole lot of soul here. Songs like "Child of the Streets", "Troubled Child", & "What's It Gonna Be", share Mayfield's commitment to social commentary, and Dees knows his way around a love song, too. It's absolutely essential. Steve Leggett/AMG

Sam Dees, der beste R&B Songwriter und Soulsänger von dem die meisten Leute nie gehört haben, hat für zahllose Künstler Songs geschrieben, darunter Gladys Knight, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, George Benson, die Temptations, Teddy Pendergrass, Millie Jackson, Jackie Wilson, die Manhattans, Regina Belle, KC & the Sunshine Band, Willie Clayton und viele andere. Er ist zudem selbst ein recht guter Sänger, der für Chess, Atlantic, Polydor und SSS aufgenommen hat, und konnte in den 1970er Jahren eine ganze Reihe eigener Hits verzeichnen. Sein 1975 bei Atlantic erschienenes Album "The Show Must Go On" wird seit langem von den Liebhabern des Southern Soul als eines der besten des Genres betrachtet. Dees, der ein bisschen wie Curtis Mayfield mit tieferer Stimme klingt (sowohl was den Stil als auch die Themen angeht), singt hier voller Selbstgewissheit, Weisheit, Leidenschaft und sehr gefühlvoll. Songs wie "Child Of The Streets", "Troubled Child" oder "What's It Gonna Be" teilen Mayfields Engagement für das Aufgreifen sozialer Fragen, aber Dees kennt sich auch mit Lovesongs aus. Dies Album ist absolut essentiell. Steve Leggett/AMG
