Madam Butterfly

Madam Butterfly

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1979 album from the R&B/Funk outfit. For Madam Butterfly, their seventh album for Capitol, the brothers wanted to create a project that would mark a return to their Soul/R&B roots: they worked with producer/arranger Bobby Martin, known for his Philly sessions with Thom Bell and Gamble & Huff. Based in L.A., Martin pulled together top writers of the day - including Sam Dees and the team of Grey & Hanks for the project. The result was an album that was played almost in it's entirety by U.S. R&B stations. The first single, 'Never Had a Love Like This Before' was a Top 5 R&B hit in advance of the release of the album. Highlights included 'Let Me Heal the Bruises,' 'Straight from the Heart' and the original version of 'I'm Back for More' (later recorded by Al Johnson). Only available previously as a Japanese CD, this expanded edition of the much-loved album includes three bonus tracks.
