Scott Galloway with exclusive commentary from Steve ArringtonDigitally remastered from the original master tapes“My spiritual pursuits have always been part of my life. As time moved on, they came more and more to the forefront. I felt them and just went with them. Many people have been influential to me – John Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, George Harrison, Carlos Santana – in terms of being secular musicians who allowed their spirituality to flourish in a way that their music had to reflect. So that’s what I decided to do. It wasn’t calculated. It was just time. And I didn’t allow what I had done previously nor a hit record to stop that pursuit.” – Steve ArringtonSteve Arrington placed his spirituality front and center on his first solo album, Dancin’ in the Key of Life, a career peak production featuring two hit singles in the title track and “Feel So Real,” following four albums rising through the ranks of Slave then two albums leading his own Steve Arrington’s Hall of Fame.Shifting from the bottom heavy funk of Slave and Steve Arrington’s Hall of Fame to embrace dance music, Dancin’ in the Key of Life is a joyful Holy Ghost party. Arrington additionally stretches with songs that speak poignantly to sadder realities via a soul-stirring approach to storytelling.The album’s influence on future artists is indisputable. Chicago House Music royalty Roy Davis Jr. believes “Feel So Real” and “Dancin’ in the Key of Life” are the original bridges between Disco and House.TRACK LISTING1. Feel So Real2.
