A: Music, Sweet Music
B: Forward Motion

Previously unissued from 1978 this is the follow up release to the very successful "Those Passing Words" single The Ellis Hall Group.
 
"Music, Sweet Music" sounds like a perfect little song with lovely summer vibes, a bit of vocal scatting and lovely organ licks from the multi talented Ellis Hall.
We love the feel of this one that sounds like The Crusaders/Blackbyrds, and Stevie Wonder rolled into 2:38 of soulful pleasure.
Flip it over and "Forward Motion" kicks off with some pretty generic 70's horn play, boom, rasping drums and melodies kick in with some fun interplay between Ellis , Patty Unitas and Pat Thomas on the background vox.
The full line up from these recordings are:
Ellis Hall Jr (Keyboards/Vocals)
Patty Unitas (Vocals)
Pat Thomas (Vocals)
David Fuller (Drums/Vocals)
Michael Thompson (Guitar)
Stanley Benders (Percussion)
