Terri Wells – Just Like Dreamin' (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Forty-plus years after its original release, Terri Wells' sole studio album finally gets the vinyl treatment it deserved from the start. A product of the Philadelphia International ecosystem at its creative peak, Wells brought a seasoned road presence and genuine vocal depth to a set that sat at the intersection of polished Philly soul and the emerging smooth R&B sound of the early '80s. Just Like Dreamin' is a document of a scene, a city, and a singer who never got her full due.
Hailing from the City of Brotherly Love, Terri Wells first came to prominence as a session singer for Philadelphia International Records in the mid-1970s following the breakup of her group City Limits. Wells soon began recording and touring as a featured vocalist with artists such as Lou Rawls, M.F.S.B., Leon Huff, Jean Carne and Dexter Wansel. In 1979, she joined the band of Roy Ayers and eventually sang lead on "Turn Me Loose" and co-wrote the track "Let's Stay Together" from his 1982 album "Feeling Good." Recruited by staff producer Nick Martinelli, Terri signed as a solo act with the Philly World Records in 1983 and released her one and only full length offering "Just Like Dreamin'." The album features the singles "You Make It Heaven" and "I'll Be Around" which both charted in the United Kingdom. To this day, her sensational debut remains a classic example of the soulful Philly sound of the early 1980s.
