Rhetta Young

Rhetta Young’s Young and Restless (Expansion EXLPM61) remains an enduring gem of the disco-soul era. Produced by Greg Carmichael and Patrick Adams, it’s an exuberant mix of orchestral sweep, slick basslines and radiant vocals. The title track and “My Man Is on His Way” exemplify Adams’ lush arrangements and Young’s charisma. The reissue’s sound restoration brings out every detail—the strings shimmer, percussion sparkles—offering a quintessential late-’70s New York groove experience.
