Classic album of the day: Sam Dees “The Show Must Go On”. Sam Dees was one the 1970′s most underrated writers and singers. The Birmingham, AL native has written hits for a who’s who list of RnB artists. His music, however, didn’t recieve the same attention as the work he did for other artists. After recording and album in a Birmingham church, he was signed to Atlantic Records and released the stellar album “The Show Must Go On”. What the album lacked in commercial appeal, it made up for with powerful soul ballads and social commentary that has been rivaled by few. Cuts like “Child of The Streets”, “Trouble Child”, and “What’s It Gonna Be” gave a glimpse into what was going on in the inner-city communities of Birmingham, the South, and really the USA. Its a shame that music like this is sometimes hidden from us and lacked its due exposure.
