First Listen: Cecil Parker wants you to share your love with “Somebody”

cecil_parker

Since the early ‘80s, Cecil Parker has been one of Philly soul ’s best kept secrets with his velvet tenor vocals and simple yet sincere songwriting style. Mellow gems such as “Really, Really Love You” and “I Think I’ll Tell Her” garnered the versatile entertainer lots of attention in the UK, while several more recent independent releases (including the dance-driven “I Need a Lover”) have seen him firm up his following in the States.

“Somebody,” his newest single, is a graceful midtempo swayer that provides the ideal outlet for Parker’s gentle phrasing of a call for universal love and respect. It’s our latest First Listen here on Soul Tracks. Check it out below and let us know what you think!
