Gene Chandler – Get Down
A soulful blend of funk, disco and sophisticated R&B, Get Down finds Gene Chandler embracing the dancefloor-driven sound of the mid-1970s while retaining the smooth vocal style that made him a soul music favourite. Best known for classics such as Duke of Earl, Chandler successfully adapted to changing musical trends, delivering a polished and groove-filled album that remains a hidden gem of the era.
The album's centrepiece is the extended title track Get Down, an infectious dancefloor workout driven by rhythmic basslines, lush arrangements and Chandler's effortlessly charismatic vocals. Elsewhere, tracks such as Please Sunrise and Tomorrow I May Not Feel The Same showcase a more melodic and soulful side, while songs like Lovequake and Give Me The Cue underline the album's strong disco and funk influences.
Combining smooth soul balladry with dancefloor energy, Get Down captures a fascinating period in Chandler's career and offers plenty for collectors of classic soul, disco and 1970s R&B.
