-oy wim oerry - ! The Staple Singers are fea tured on the soundtrack of the new movie “A Piece of the Action" starring Sidney Poiti er, Bill Cosby, and James Earl Jones. The soundtrack flows very nicely with the movie. It shou ld sell well...especially if this Poitier-Cosby movie becomes as popular as the previous two. 0 Mike Theodore...a seasoned arranger-producer who work ed with Rare Earth for some time...has just released his first album featuring himself as an artist. It’s called COSMIC WIND * on Westbound Records. The music is straight disco...The title cut, “Belly Boogie,” and “Moon Trek” are all sounds that should be heard at the discos soon. Theodore put together an orchestra of 40 musicians to perform with him on the al bum. n Jermaine Jackson has found the going rough since he left his famous family to go out on his own. Jermaine doesn’t have the charisma or the voice of youn ger brother Michael...and he’s tried to hide that behind a crowd of background singers on his latest song, “Come and Get It,” on Motown Records. A new album is soon to follow the 45. m 0 Meanwhile, the rest of the Jacksons are back with their new GOING PLACES album. It’s noLfced...but it isn't ud to par with most of their recordings on Motown. One very noticeable thing is the change in lead singer Mi chael’s voice. 0 Former Tower of Power lead singer Lenny Williams has delivered a very fine solo LP. Lenny really rocks on “Choosing You,” the title cut and one of several songs on the album that he wrote. The album should be avail* able in record stores soon. u Jazz Pick of the Week...Noel Pointer's PHANTAZIA on Blue Note Records. A very diverse album most jazz col lectors will enjoy. Highlights include the title tune and Pointer’s version of "Living For The City.” 0 RCA Records has released several new 12-inch disco discs, among them “Keep It Up,” by Nightfall. It’s the disco version of a song origi nally done in reggae. New on Salsoul Records is KING OF CLUBS, an LP by Chocolate. You’ll need to rest after dancing to his cut ..it's IS minutes long. 0 The Commodores "Brick. House'' is also available now on a discodisc, and deejay's around town are finding it to be a crowd favorite. Another is Meco’s "Star Wars and other Galactic Funk," an al bum which could be the wave of the future for disco music. Both of these can be found at jfM Jim Berry Disco Sound...a store with a very fine collection of 12-inch disco records. 0 The new Earth, Wind and Fire album on Columbia Re cords has officially been re leased... look for it soon here in Charlotte. It’s just as good as all the others. WGIV has been play ing “Serpentine Fire” the group's new 45 from the al bum. w Rose Royce is proving their initial success with CAR WASH was no fluke. Their latest DO YOUR DANCE al bum is now the meet popular soul album in Charlotte ac cording to lists from several record stores. 0 BABY IT’S ME...That’s the name of Diana Ross’ latest offering on Motown Records. This album has been in the making for some time...but it was well worth the wait. Diana can’t sing as high as Minnie Riperton or as loud as Aretha Franklin, but her soft, controlled style is what sets her apart from others, and makes her pleasant to listen to. V • The New Birth is a group that seems to have a new sound with almost every al bum. Now, they’re turning disco like eveiy one else in their latest UP on Warner Brothers. It features a very nice cui you may soon hear in town called "Deeper.” / 0 More next week on new albums by former Funkadelic member Eddie Hazel...and Doctor Buzzard’s Original Sa vannah Band.
