Product Type: COMPACT DISCS

Genre: Soul/R & B
Digitally remastered and expanded edition. In the early '70s, Stax singer/songwriter/producer David Porter followed in the footsteps of Isaac Hayes, his former collaborator, with four albums for the Enterprise subsidiary: full of similarly elongated arrangements, elaborate instrumentation and supremely soulful vocals. Into A Real Thing is the follow-up to Porter's early 1970 album Gritty, Groovy And Gettin It. Porter, with a new writing partner, Ronnie Williams, worked on this album in Muscle Shoals to create a similarly soulful set, but with a higher number of original songs than it's predecessor. One standout track which wasn't their own is the radical revision of the McCoys mid-60s smash 'Hang On Sloopy'. Released without a single to promote it, the album still found it's way into the Top 10 of the R&B album chart in 1970, and featured on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Pop albums. It still stands up well and it's reissue augmented by three originally unissued bonus tracks will be acclaimed by Memphis soul aficionados everywhere.
