Hailing from Mall Creek, Mississippi, G.C. Cameron rose to fame at 22 years of age, when he joined Motown Records to become lead singer of legendary group The Spinners. After a string of well received releases, including chartbusterIt's A Shame, co-written and produced by Stevie Wonder, Cameron left The Spinners to pursue a solo career. It was a trip to Fantasy Studios, San Francisco in 1977, where Cameron teamed up with Harvey Faqua, Greg Crockett and Elgie Stover to realize what is arguably his finest work. A full album was recorded, but only two tracks saw the light of day, via the short-lived UK label, Flamingo. Soundway presents a four track EP, comprised of the two in-demand cuts previously released on Flamingo - the deep and dubby disco-workoutIf I Love You (Instrumental) and soul drenched balladLive For Love, coupled with two unreleased recordings rescued from the abyss after 45 years of collecting dust. The modern-soul-dancerThank You Baby, backed by Jeanie Tracy and Martha Walsh, is a jewel that displays Cameron's full range whilst the vocal toIf I Love You elevates the recording to dance-floor-ready and joins the dots that never existed.
