Ray Kennedy (Expanded)

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1980 album. The late Ray Kennedy wrote, recorded and toured with a Who's Who list of musicians, including Brian Wilson, Jeff Beck, Aerosmith, Fleetwood Mac, Dave Mason, Michael Schenker and many others. He also was the K in the supergroup KGB, the group he formed in the mid-'70s with Barry Goldberg and Mike Bloomfield. But in 1980, he struck off on his own and signed with the Arc label for this solo album, which was produced by David Foster and boasted such big studio names as Jeff Porcaro, Steve Lukather, and Bill Champlin. The record notched a couple of hits with Just for the Moment and Starlight, and we've added the unreleased track Dance the Night Away to this Expanded Edition along with the original mixes of It Never Crossed My Mind and Just for the Moment mixed by Kennedy and Jack Conrad prior to David Foster's involvement with the project, plus the single mix of Starlight! Liner notes by Gene Sculatti examine the career of this elite pop musician.
