Thelma Houston

Any Way You Like It Thelma Houston Expanded edition

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1977 album from the Soul great. Thelma Houston first signed with Motown records in 1971. In 1977, Motown assembled a second Thelma Houston album Any Way You Like It and included was a cover that altered Thelma's career trajectory forever - her take on 'Don't Leave Me This Way,' a track from a 1975 album by Philadelphia International Records group Harold Melvin & the Bluenotes. After a Boston record pool of club DJs began playing it and getting immediate reaction, it was released as a single and became a Grammy-winning global hit for Thelma, topping the US pop, R&B and dance charts. This expanded edition of Any Way You Like It includes six bonus tracks: The single version of 'Don't Leave Me This Way' and it's non-LP "B" side 'Today Will Soon Be Yesterday'); non-album singles, the Grammy-winning 'You've Been Doing Wrong So Long' and 'One Out of Every Six'; and Thelma's long sought-after ultra-rare version of 'Do You Know Where You're Going To' (only ever issued in New Zealand), subsequently recorded by Diana Ross as the theme for her 2nd film, "Mahogany" along with the "B" side, 'Together'.
