Not to be confused with the Christian Rock group of the same name.
Not to be confused with an ill-advised Sixties surf music revival.
Not be confused with the 1930's trad jazz movement of the same name.
This particular West Coast Revival features three musicians from Compton, California:
Luther James, Dean Robinson & Patrick Taylor.
They released this track on a self-titled LP thro' LA International Records back in '77.
It's an incredibly rare and sought after LP among soul & funk collectors.
Jerry Goldstein wrote Wars' Lowrider - another Compton band.
He once managed Sly and the Family Stone.
He also produced the original West Coast Revival album.
This may go some way to explain its unique sound.
This track was featured on Trippin', a Ubiquity Records compilation about ten years ago.
Even a decade ago information on this song was limited.
Many reviewers thought it was a long lost blue-eyed soul track.
The bands' name only adding to the...confusion.
Major props to the gentleman who posted this epic song on You Tube.
