Richard “Groove” Holmes – Soul Power! (1968)

Richard “Groove” Holmes – Soul Power (1968) | Classic Soul-Jazz Album Review

Prestige records 1967  PRST 7543

notes:

Richard “Groove” Holmes remains one of the great Hammond B-3 

organists of the soul-jazz era. His 1968 album Soul Power! on 

Prestige Records captures the relaxed but deeply funky style that 

made him a key figure of late-1960s jazz. Recorded in December 1967,

 the album blends original material with soul and pop covers such 

as “Sunny,” “Gimme Little Sign,” and Horace Silver’s “The Preacher.”
