Fans of classic soul have cause for celebration thanks to the reissuing of Kellee Patterson's 1974 Maiden Voyage album. Let's hope that in addition to appeasing the faithful, the reappearance of Maiden Voyage generates the interest of a new generation of listeners who are interested in honest and attractive music of the past. Produced by Gene Russell, accompanied by George Harper's sprightly flute and a subdued rhythm section, Patterson's lovely, sure-pitched voice fits the love song "Magic Wand of Love" and the boogaloo "Soul Daddy" well, as does her interpretation of lyrics specially fashioned for the Herbie Hancock instrumental "Maiden Voyage."

As covers go, Kellee Patterson's versions of the Barry White-penned classic and the theme made famous by Grover Washington Jr. don't fall far short of spectacular! Recorded back in sunny '76, this is sublime femme-soul with impeccable production, a classy double-sider that cannot fail to please. Here for the first time is the full-length version of "I'm Gonna Love You" and a stunning vocal rendition of "Mister Magic" that's too good to ignore. DJs watch out for immediate dancefloor reaction!
