Big Al Cooper was discovered and brought to me by Tahira Jumah. He played the lead in a musical about Luther Vandross's life story. He comes from Guyana originally, and lives in London now. Here he has done the most amazing job with my classic James Wells hit, "True Love Is My Destiny", which, along with "My Claim To Fame", topped the US Billboard disco charts for seven weeks back in 1978. He has turned it from an old disco record into a soul classic and I'm very proud, as it's such a major important track for my album for so so many reasons. After weeks of non stop work and my two video editors staying up night after night without sleep, it was actually ready. My album, "Yesterday And Tomorrow", is probably the most dear to my heart project that I have ever undertaken. I decided after thirty three years since I made my very first record, "Reaching For The Best" by The Exciters, to take a trip back down memory lane and recut thirty of my classics on artists who I am currently working with, reinterpreting them in 2008 without losing the magic that made them special in the first place. It's a totally self indulgent project, but one which already has my fans salivating with delight. I first got the idea when I recut Evelyn Thomas's wonderful classic "Have A Little Faith In Me" with Ebony Alleyne. So in total there are thirty, twenty four for the CD and six more extra ones for the DVD, picking either my biggest hits, my most beloved tracks, or the songs which people most requested to see a video. As I must clearly explain, these are not the original versions. And that's what makes the project exciting and new.These are brand spanking new interpretations of the classics, by Centre City's current roster of artists , built up over a thirty three year career of making records.
