Bill Brandon is one of those unlucky artists who, despite possessing an enormous amount of talent, never got the recognition they deserve. He was an accomplished vocalist and one of the very few artists who managed to merge Deep Soul and Disco music to a distinct sound.
He began his career in 1967 with the release of “Self Preservation for Quin Ivy’s Quinvy recordings. He also recorded with Tower Records and Prelude Records. Unfortunately, after his 1978 release “Special Occasion”/"Get It While It’s Hot” he had no other releases.
According to Discogs, Bill Brandon “left the music business behind in 1987 to take up truck driving …” and began singing for a church in Harvest, Alabama.
I like all his songs — I really do. My favorite, however, would be “Tag, Tag.”
“Can’t We Just Sit Down And Talk It Over” was released in 1977 for Prelude Records.
"A Special Occasion" (1978)
