Legendary Detroit musician Dennis Coffey was the featured guitarist on literally hundreds of hit records. As a session guitarist at Motown and Invictus, and a deft hand with the wah wah pedal, you can hear him behind the Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Chairmen Of The Board and countless others. With Mike Theodore he produced scores of classic Detroit soul records and his own solo records for Sussex produced disco hits. Those records also produced in Scorpio one of the foundation records of disco culture.
Our compilation ranges from the classic breakbeat funk of Wild Child, Some Like It Hot and Live Wire to the disco grooves of Leaving Planet Earth and Give Me That Love on to the sublime soul of Sweet Taste Of Sin and Someone Special. A particular treat is the delicate playing that Dennis reveals on the down-tempo High On Love and Our Love Goes On Forever.
