The Main Ingredient - Shame On The World / I Only Have Eyes For You (2009) CD-Rip

Finally, two of soul music's most classic albums get a release on CD for the first time. The Main Ingredient have made a huge contribution to the success of this genre over the years, especially the 70s and 80s. Only a few of their hits have been re-issued over the years, and classics such as Just Don't Want To be Lonely and Everybody Plays The Fool have been on compilations, but these albums have been overlooked.
Shame On the World is from 1975 and the title track was a US Top 20 hit at the front end of 1976. The album also includes Let Me Prove My Love To You which has the killer break utilized by ALICIA KEYS on her smash hit You Dont Know My Name, and the stunning Over You. I Only Have Eyes For You came out in 1981 and is very much in the style of the period, opening with the anthemic boogie track Evening Of Love and including the equally rousing Save Me plus an impressive version of a Luther Vandross song Party People produced by the legendary Patrick Adams. As a BONUS TRACK we are including the song Spoiled which is a huge previously unavailable track (on CD) from another album by The Main Ingredient, Ready For Love. Both albums feature the lead vocals of Cuba Gooding, the voice of all the group's major hits over the years and father to Hollywood actor, Cuba Gooding Jr.
