It’s Too Late to Turn Back Now (1972) by Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose captures that moment when someone realizes they’re already fully in love and can’t retreat without wrecking themselves. Based out of Dania Beach, just outside Fort Lauderdale, recorded in Miami during the early 1970s American soul era.

“Let’s Straighten it Out” is a cornerstone of Southern Soul, written and first recorded by Latimore in 1974 topping R&B charts with its pleading message about resolving relationships through honest talk. In 1978 O.V. Wright recorded his definitive cover - Produced at Memphis’s legendary, Royal Studios for Hi Records. Reworked with that raw, gospel drenched grit and a lisp.

“Everything’s Alright” (1970) from the original concept album Jesus Christ Superstar. The double album was released on Decca Records before the stage production existed. Yvonne Elliman played Mary Magdalene, with Murray Head as Judas and Ian Gillan (of Deep Purple) as Jesus. The track is in 5/4 time, which gives it that distinctive rocking, lullaby-like feel.
