David Simmons - The World Belongs To Me (1979) [2011] CD-Rip

This rather obscure album was originally released on WMOT Records in 1979 and features everything from ultra-smooth ballads to sizzling-hot Disco tracks. David Simmons's rich baritone bears a strong similarity to that of the late Teddy Pendergrass and (in many ways) it's quite shameful that this album came and went mostly unnoticed but now that Expansion Records has reissued it on CD (with excellent sound quality) it's more than ripe for reappraisal and reevaluation. "Holding Back", "Hooked On You", "Someday, Someway" ,"Locked Up In A Groove" and the title track all deserved a better fate.
