Love

There are few singers in soul music with a unique signature sound starting in the 60's and still going strong today. With his straight from the heart, rich in emotion and knee-deep singing delivering breathtaking vocal depth and range George McCrae is one of those artists. After an impressive career including a #1 in more than 40 countries, several golden records, a Grammy nomination as best male R&B singer in 1975 and having worked with legends such as Michael Jackson & the Jackson 5, James Brown, KC & The Sunshine Band, Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards as well Bill Wyman, George McCrae is now back with a new great classic and fresh sounding album called "LOVE".Born the second of nine in West Palm Beach, Florida, George started singing gospel in church. Later he formed his own singing group the Jivin' Jets and after his wife Gwen McCrae joined the line-up, they soon worked as a duo recording for Henry Stone's Alston record label. They continued singing in clubs in Palm Beach as well on sessions together with Betty Wright doing backing vocals for artists such as the Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman's first solo album "Monkey Grip". He was about to go back to college to study law enforcement when he heard from Casey and Finch who had written and recorded a song which was too high for KC to sing, George stepped in, and made history.
