Witness his recent alliance with UK Afrobeat\/reggae band The Soothsayers or Jazmine Sullivan's R \u0026amp; B hit Need U Bad, which sampled his classic 'Queen Of The Minstrel' -a song that still sounds fresh more than thirty years later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSweet Baby was pressed on bright red vinyl, which only added to the excitement when you saw the selector position it carefully on the deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the LP cover was a painting of Cornell wearing an emerald green shirt and framed by a lurid sky, which might have left some people wondering if it was a soul album. It wasn't, although there is certainly soul in the grooves, and especially on R\u0026amp;B covers like Gonna Take A Miracle - first recorded by the Royalettes -and Darling You Send Me, which Sam Cooke had introduced to the US Billboard charts some twenty years earlier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are among the highlights but then the whole album is good in truth, and a heartfelt I Need Somebody and My Sweet Baby, plus the two-step favourite Just Enough were regularly played on sound system. Blinded By Love, I Didn't Know and Can't Hide My Love are tinged with melancholy and like the seductive Whenever You Need Me, display all the hallmarks of a classic Cornell Campbell side -swooping vocals, a driving rhythm and seductive lyrics included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNearly forty years later, it is gratifying to know there is still no mistaking him when his records are played in a dance. That relaxed vocal style draws you in but it's his falsetto, quivering with understated emotion that hooks you and turns you into a lifelong fan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracks: Blinded By Love \/ I Need Someone \/ Darling You Sent Me \/ Gonna Take A Miracle \/ My Sweet Baby \/ Can't Hide My Love \/ I Didn't Know \/ Just Enough \/ Whenever You Need Me \/ The Judgement Come\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BURNING SOUNDS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47501037535388,"sku":"BSRLP957R","price":22.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/3_6a25ffb4-80bb-445f-a4b0-8b811c6a2a8a.webp?v=1788246780","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/cornell-campbell-sweet-baby-lp","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
