Details:
Kenny Lynch has been at the heart of British showbusiness over 40 years. Whether hes acting, singing, performing comedy or songwriting, Kenny has always been central to the mechanism that makes British entertainment tick. With such an enviable range of talents, its no surprise that some aspects of his career have been overlooked. Nothing But The Real Thing is the first celebration of Kennys 1960s recordings for EMI, taking in his seven hit singles, many of his self-penned gems, including songs co-written with recognised giants like Jerry Ragavoy and Mort Shuman. Its not that Kennys records havent been recognised, its more that acknowledgment of their merit has been limited to fans who have put Kennys showbiz associations aside. After all, My Own Two Feet and Movin Away have been Northern Soul collectables for years. Its the music that counts. A consummate stylist, Kenny brought up his own perspective to the music of the day. The uptown soul sounds of For Loving You Baby or Ill Stay By You show that Kenny was no slouch as a songwriter, taking the influences of the Brill Building where, uniquely for a British songwriter, he worked and moulding them to a British sensibility. On What Am I To You Kenny cocked an ear towards Burt Bacharach. That ear was firmly to the ground at home as well: Kennys version of Lennon and McCartneys Misery was issued a week before The Beatles recording hit the shops on their first album. It may have taken almost 35 years to document Kennys terrific and classy EMI recordings, but the wait for Nothing But The Real Thing has been worth it.

Reissue of this CD, which was originally released in 2004.

Nothing But The Real Thing is the first celebration of Kennys 1960s recordings for EMI.

Will appeal to fans of Gene Chandler, Mark Wynter, Adam Faith and more.
