Love Has Found A Way / Working Man (7")

Description

James Holvay – Love Has Found a Way / Working Man Chicago soul legend James Holvay returns with his third release for LRK Records, delivering a superb double-sided 7-inch that connects his classic Chicago soul roots with a modern Northern Soul revival. Best known as the writer of the Buckinghams’ 1966 US No. 1 hit “Kind of a Drag” and founder of the horn-driven Chicago group The MOB, Holvay has returned to the soul sound that first made his name, inspired by the likes of Tyrone Davis, Motown, Amy Winehouse and Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings. “Love Has Found a Way” leads the release with a driving, romantic Chicago soul feel. Originally written as “Love’s Got a Hold On Me” with MOB member Gary Beisbier, Holvay revisited and completely recut the song for his 2021 Sweet Soul Song project, giving it the sound he always felt it deserved. The flip, “Working Man,” is a gritty, uplifting soul track inspired by the working men Holvay encountered on the streets of downtown Los Angeles. Combining classic Motown-style production with a tougher urban edge, it has a distinctly Temptations-inspired feel. A strong release for Northern Soul DJs, collectors and contemporary soul audiences, this latest LRK Records 45 showcases an artist who continues to write, record and perform with the same passion for soul music that has defined his career. 7-inch vinyl + digital release on LRK Records.
