Baby Brotha at THROWBACK MUSIC has 2 Soul Children up on his site. I already have Genesis up here. So now I'm adding Friction - just in case you don't have enuf Soul Children!
Review by Richie Unterberger (Allmusic)
A slicker, sweeter, and less satisfying outing than their previous LP, Genesis, Friction did nonetheless include their biggest hit, "I'll Be the Other Woman." A little daring for the radio in that it acknowledged an adulterous affair, "I'll Be the Other Woman" was also something of a departure for the Soul Children, putting Shelbra Bennett in the spotlight as lead vocalist (J. Blackfoot had tended to have the most visible leads). Bennett was also lead singer on the less impressive single "Love Makes It Right," a small R&B hit that concludes the record. In the interim, there are lush ballads that get into icky sweetness ("What's Happening Baby") as well as some more up-tempo, funky numbers. The best of the lot is "Can't Let You Go," which smolders a bit thanks to the grainy lead vocal (presumably by J. Blackfoot) and subtle wah-wah guitar.

Wow, awesome.
I've been lookin' for this LP.
Thanks for this record, I love the Soul Children.
Said I'd pop over, and they don't come better than this LP. Nope, can't think of one off the top of my head. Where else do you get top notch male (J Blackfoot) and female (Shelbra Bennett) leads at the height of their game, a host of Banks & Hampton extra extra-special songs all hung over a fabulous "concept" album. I mean lines like 'I'll be the other woman all your life as long as I'm the only one - other than your wife' are amongst the bounty of wondrous lyrics, even if they may sometimes sound a bit dated !!
But some are timeless - and the real peach here is "What's Happening" which for me epitomises the essence of Deep Soul in 6m45s. The rap, the grit, the props !! As they say, 'soul as deep as it comes, and then some'.
Musicmeiho, you and your blog are shining torches. Keep going, and I'll follow.
This is a great gem..thanks a billi
Musicmeiho, in case you're interested, I have 'Soul Children' and 'Best Of Both Worlds' for you.
Damn Trakbuv, a shining comment as well! Soul as deep as it comes... What else to add? Thanks Musicmeiho.
