"The Offering" is the lead-off track on Ikebe Shakedown's much anticipated sophomore album "Stone By Stone". With their limited press 45 "The Beast b/w Road Song" selling out a few months after release and the Tujunga Remixes single with Brennan Green continuing to be a hot seller, the release of the new record could not come at a better time.

Shrug It Off
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[instrumental]

Move past it, shrug it off
You will still be here tomorrow
Don't expect to see a change
Too much hope is only sorrow

Learn to be a bigger man
Learn to handle what you can
What you can't, let it go by
You don't need to make her cry

[bridge]

Nothing to gain by being right
Not much to lose by being wrong
You don't want to win that fight
Try again, just play along

[chorus]
I could live without a home
I could go my way alone
But to leave her by herself
My heart would turn to stone

[instrumental]

This is the life you have
We never know what we are choosing
There may have been a time
But it went by, what's left is losing

What did you see in that expression?
What did she mean with that odd look?
You thought she would be happy
But that glance was all it took

[bridge]

Nothing to gain by being right
Not much to lose by being wrong
You don't want to win that fight
Try again, just play along

[chorus]
I could live without a home
I could go my way alone
But to leave her by herself
My heart would turn to stone

[instrumental]

I could live without a home
I could go my way alone
But to leave her by herself
My heart would turn to stone

My heart would turn to stone

My heart would turn to stone

[instrumental]

"I got a little more work for you to do."

That's what the late Reverend Gean West sings—or rather testifies—on the opening track of Goodbye World, the new and deeply emotional album from the triumphantly unlikely gospel funk band the Relatives. The group started working on the record in the summer of 2014, but Gean was able to lay down his signature gravelly vocals on only two songs before he became ill and fell into a coma. He remained unconscious for twelve days, and it was during that time he heard God's voice telling him to get back to work. "Don't let me down, son," the voice commanded.

PHILLIP BALLOU
Pittsburgh-born Phillip Ballou’s earliest years were spent in the gospel field; after he moved to New York City in the ‘70s, he teamed up with Bennie Diggs and Arthur Freeman, founding members of The New York Community Choir and singer Arnold McCuller to form the group Revelation.  The quartet recorded for RSO Records, scoring some R&B success in the US with tracks like “Get Ready For This” and “You To Me Are Everything,” touring the Bee Gees among others.  Phillip also sang on albums by NYCC recorded for RCA Records and continued with Revelation until 1982.
Frequently hired for sessions in and around New York, Phillip teamed up with UK soul music journalist David Nathan (who he’d met in 1974 during Nathan’s first US visit) and John Simmons, formerly a member of The Reflections, another New York vocal group to write a series of songs for his own proposed solo record deal.  Although a contract did not materialize, one of the songs – “Ain’t Nothing Like The Love” – got some interest from famed Philadelphia producer Thom Bell who presented it to The O’Jays.  Ultimately, the tune was turned down by Kenny Gamble and John Simmons, by then musical director for Stephanie Mills, recorded his own version for a small independent label in 1981.
Phillip continued his own musical journey, touring and recording with James Taylor and Todd Rundgren. In addition, Phillip’s name graced recordings by George Benson, Billy Ocean, Kashif, Nona Hendryx, Jonathan Butler, Teddy Pendergrass and Melba Moore; in 1981, he began recording with Luther Vandross and became a part of Luther’s touring band for many years, as well as singing on productions by Luther on Aretha Franklin, Dionne Warwick and others, continuing his association with him until Luther’s 2003 stroke.  Phillip returned to his gospel roots in 2004 as Minister of Music at a Brooklyn church and passed away in March 2005, aged 55. 
Thanks to renewed interest in the John Simmons’ 1981 recording on YouTube, David Nathan has uncovered several tracks from the 1978 and 1979 he did with Phillip and John including Phillip Ballou’s original version of “Ain’t Nothing Like The Love,” gaining its first ever worldwide release as a 7” single on Nefer Records in association with Super Disco Edits
