Eccentric Soul: The Magic Touch Label Vol. 1

Conjuring from ‘64-’80, Lenny “King Creole” LaCour dealt a mean slight of sockin’ R&B, basement beehive, hard funk, group harmony, and proto disco across a variety of mysterious imprints.
This deluxe double album set gathers 26 soulful tricks from the Magic Touch tophat, with an illusion’s worth of noters, photos, and ephemera in the accompanying booklet. Abracadabra
