When You're #1
Gene Chandler
Departing from his earlier work, the artist adopted the aesthetic of the late seventies dance floor. His vocal delivery remains smooth while navigating the driving, polished instrumentation found across the project.
Issued through 20th Century Fox Records, the album reflects how established soul singers adapted to current trends. It stands as a document of the club environment from 1979, emphasizing a move toward slicker, dance-oriented compositions.
