Search - Chris Farlowe :: Art of Chris Farlowe

Chris Farlowe was hailed as the new in singer when Mick Jagger produced this superb album in 1966. Jagger was among many star vocalists who admired the Cockney lad with the powerful voice. Farlowe certainly had soul and a raucously powerful style. These assets are all exploited on an album promoted by fellow Farlowe enthusiast Andrew Loog Oldham and first released on the independent Immediate label. Farlowe delivers a selection of soul standards such as What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted and I ve Been Loving You Too Long , together with the Stones classic Paint It Black and Out Of Time , a hit song Jagger and Richards wrote especially for Chris. Backed by an orchestra conducted and arranged by Art Greenslade, these are dynamic performances that show why Oldham and Jagger were so excited about their protégé s potential. The original 14 track album is augmented with a further eleven bonus items on this essential CD, including the A and B-sides released between 1967 and 1969, with Michael D Abo s Handbags And many fine compositions given the Farlowe treatment. More than 40 years later, these recordings still sound fresh and dynamic. Original LP contents plus 11 bonus tracks, now all available on one superb CD in Digipak format.
