Flowers - For Real (1976)

[@jeshun7071]

Released in 1976, sells for £2,500 that's if you can get hold of the original "7" Richard Flowers is the name to remember, because he is the voice behind this fabulous Rare Groover with subtle strings to match, very much in the Leroy Hutson, Leon Ware school of music, this is a treasure trove of a track that even Roy Ayers & Wayne Henderson covered it on their album

[@shodanart]

Yes....he has a Donny Hathaway sound. This should have been a hit. I can’t find anything on Richard Flowers. He also released “We Can Make It Happen.” Then into obscurity.

that Harp sounds like Paraguayan Harp, any info on who played it?

What are the inscriptions on the runout on both sides of the original?

Don't know why this song wasn't a hit, as it was perfect for the scene back in 1976. That it wasn't is truly a shame, This song is one smooth & danceable groove & deserved better than to be an obscurity.

[@shodanart]

I agree! Released only two records and into obscurity. I can’t find anything on Richard Flowers. This holds up even today (Nov 2020). He has a Donny Hathaway vocal style.
