First Listen: Sir Jonathan Williams takes on a Temptations classic

sirjonathanwilliams

(August 3, 2016) The RimShots were one of the great backing bands of the 1970s, working with artists ranging from The Dells to Etta James to Ray, Goodman & Brown. A key part of the success of The Rimshots was Sir Jonathan Williams, who has been part of the Sugar Hill Records family since the beginning.

Jonathan has released a new album that skirts the border between soul and jazz, and he brings along such notable artists as Najee, Clarence Alonzo Oliver and Walter Lee Morris to create a smooth soulful sound.

Nowhere is that sound clearer than on his cover of the classic Temptations slow jam, “Just My Imagination.” It is our newest SoulTracks First Listen. Check it out below.
