Jim
Weatherly
Dancing Moon
This
Album was recorded and mixed in 1977. It was never released on vinyl or
tape due to the record company being phased out and sold. The Album has
been digitally remastered and is available now, for the first time, on
CD. It includes two of Weatherly's biggest hits as a songwriter. "You're
The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me" was a number one record
for Gladys Knight & The Pips, both R&B and pop, and was a number
one record for Ray Price on the country charts. "Love Finds It's
Own Way" was another pop and R&B hit for Gladys Knight &
The Pips. Also, "All That Keeps Me Going" was released as a
single by Weatherly and was a top 30 country hit.

Jim Weatherly is best known for his Top 10 compositions for Gladys Knight
("Neither One of Us", "Midnight Train To Georgia",
"Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me") and his own Top 20 Hit
"The Need To Be". The prolific writer has had about a dozen
albums out on numerous labels. This collection, entitled "Dancing
Moon", may be his finest so far. His relaxed, warm sounding voice
makes these ten songs sound like old friends after the first listen. Jim
produced and wrote all of the songs. They are all beautifully arranged
and orchestrated. The standout songs for me were the title song, "Dancing
Moon", the haunting "No Blues For Susie" and one of the
most beautiful ballads ever written "You're The Best Thing That Ever
Happened to Me". Please do yourself a favor and discover a true tunesmith...Jim
Weatherly. You will not be disappointed.

Easy Listening country and soft rock from the writer of such hits as "Midnight
Train to Georgia" and "You're The Best Thing That Ever Happened
To Me", both recorded by Gladys Knight & the Pips. Think Glen
Campbell (Yes! Glen has recorded his songs too!) |
