SOUL SUGAR: The Makings Of You

Curtis Mayfield’s orchestral soul track The Makings Of You off his 1970 debut LP, Curtis, here gets a 70s-style reggae-soul makeover from French outfit Soul Sugar who are past masters at successful reggae-soul covers. Once again they work with singer Leo Carmichael who sings falsetto as Mayfield did in the original. Shot through with summery vibes it’s pretty much just the thing for cold-ass February days, even if the nights are (finally) starting to get lighter. The single is taken from Soul Sugar’s forthcoming Just A Little Talk LP which is due mid-March.
