Brown, Wado: Turning 'round B/w Moment To Moment (7-Inch Single)

Detroit native, Wade O. Brown aka Wado (pronounced WAY-doh) Brown blesses us on 7 sides of classic modern boogie soul goodness. The singer/songwriter/keyboardist was mentored by the legendary Clark Sisters as a teenager and quickly became a regular performer in the Midwest Gospel community. Wade has since been a force in Toronto's live music scene, and a hired gun for touring acts such as Roger Troutman, Quincy Jones and Aretha Franklin. However, he was probably best known for his A-Team weekly band residency in Little Italy during the late 2000s. On any given Monday, you could catch him bashing keys on the house Hammond B-3 organ while filling the room with his soulful voice. We're excited to bring you two new original tracks, written and recorded on the spot in Producer, Gil Masuda's studio. Side A brings us a roller skating Boogie-Funk banger, Turning 'Round. Here, Wade's commanding voice channels both Luther Vandross and Teddy Pendergrass, as he floats atop juicy basslines and heavenly chords, with a chorus lift that will take you back to church! The B-side is but another anthem with a Bee Gee's sophistication that could easily be found on an early 80s Luther Vandross LP. Turning 'Round, Moment to Moment
