Here I Stand: 20 Greatest Hits is a detailed double-disc set featuring the laid-back uptown soul of vocalist
Wade Flemons recorded in the late '50s and early '60s. This Collectables set goes deep into his catalog, mixing the familiar oldies "Here I Stand," "Slow Motion," "Easy Lovin'," with the
Percy Mayfield-penned "At the Party," and "Please Send Me Someone to Love." Several of these tracks originally were released under the moniker
Wade Flemons & the Newcomers before
Flemons became a solo act. As a side note: in the '70s
Flemons ended up a successful songwriter and keyboard player for an early incarnation of
Earth, Wind & Fire.
