Tomorrow's People consisted of 4 brothers (Kevin, Maurice, Gerald, and Timothy Burton) from South Chicago, and the soul-funk group released \u003ci\u003eOpen Soul \u003c\/i\u003ethrough Stage Productions in 1976. The record has since become a holy grail for collectors, and Melodies International Ltd., a reissue label helmed by Sam Shepherd aka \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.com\/search?\u0026amp;q=floating%20points\u0026amp;filter=Brand\/Manufacturer\/Artist_fq:%22Floating%20Points%22\" title=\"Floating Points Music on Vinyl LP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"\u003eFloating Points\u003c\/a\u003e, has brought back the 5-tracker (feel free to check prices on vinyl marketplaces for og copies). Much of the conversation concerning the LP starts around the epic 20-minute title track, which apparently was not a written piece and\/or rehearsed(!!!). It begins with cosmic-soul vibes created by warm keys and guitar riffs, then around the 2-minute mark, the funk explodes with percussion, simple-yet-effective bass work, and the catchy chanting that gets at the burning question: \"What is soul?\" The answer lies in tunes like \"Lovers To Friends,\" \"It Ain't Fair,\" and \"Hurry On Up Tomorrow,\" but also, don't sleep on the funk-disco bump of \"Let's Get Down With The Beat.\" Remastered from meticulously sourced copies of the original pressing (the masters \/ tapes were destroyed some time ago), includes Tomorrow's People goodies and an interview w\/ one of the Burton brothers.
