For many disco and house music producers and listeners, Leroy Burgess might be one of the most important figures and inspiration, however being clearly quite unknown to the mass. Born and raised in Harlem, his musical knowledge was picked up informally through his mother (a classically trained soprano) and the infrequent family reunion with his mom's cousin, legendary Philly soul arranger/producer, Thom Bell. It resulted in a 50 years musical career, which started in the late '60s within the Black Ivory band, under the shoulder of famous producer Patrick Adams. The list of project and artists he's contributed to whether as a singer, musician, arranger, writer or producer is then incredible: Inner Life, Dazzle, Logg, Aleem, High Frequency, Change, Universal Robot Band, Rick James, Ben E. King, Eddie Kendricks, Narada Michael Walden, are just a few of them. His influence to the disco and boogie musical movement is quite unequaled, and in the '90s he became also part of the garage and house movement, collaborating with acts such as Blaze, Glenn Underground, and Cassius. Since 2016, after a special gig at the Nuits Sonores festival in Lyon (France), where he was invited by MCDE, Leroy Burgess started touring Europe, backed by a band composed of musicians from the French city. In 2018 at the New Morning in Paris, Pascal Rioux from Favorite Recordings, could confirm this feeling, while he also realized knowing most of these musicians, who collaborated to project from the label such as Mr Day or The Dynamics. There was not much more needed to launch the idea of some Leroy Burgess's new recordings with the band, reviving the '80s analog production golden-age. Today Favorite Recordings is thrilled to present Work It Out/Til I Found You, new two-track single by Leroy Burgess and Saving Coco, produced and composed by The Bernard Brothers and Bruno "Patchworks" Hovart. The Bernard Brothers is a Paris/London based production duo comprised of Elliott and Nevil Bernard. Elliott (aka Seiji Ono) and Nevil (aka Koji Ono) are also involved in running London reissue label, Melodies International. Bruno "Patchworks" Hovart, is a famous French producer, who's proven over the past 15 years, his place amongst the finest producers of groove music in all genres through various projects such as Voilaaa, Mr President, or Uptown Funk Empire to name just a few.
