Limited edition 7inch single from the album “Saturday Night”, the life’s work of CYRIL Walker. During the making of this record CYRIL passed away on December 31, 2010. He will be missed.
A wicked groove from Cyril Walker – a tune that’s got some mighty sweet keyboards grooving right over the basslines, and a vocal-based hook that just won’t quit! The cut’s very much on the warmer side of the 80s club spectrum – and is a great reminder that in the right sectors, there was still some deeply soulful work coming out on small labels! “So Proud” has beats that are a bit heavier, and a slight electro soul approach – but Cyril still keeps things nice and soulful throughout, especially on the keyboards and vocals – which feature a bit of help from Mile High Pie!
A-side taken from rare lp Marcel Evans – Going Places ‘1984 – first time on 45! “So proud” was originally released in 1985 on Entambra Records.
