Info for Everything In Place (Remaster)

Great work from Tyrone Davis' under-recognized years at Columbia Records – a wonderful set of mature modern soul numbers that really let the singer find a whole new groove! The whole thing's nicely free of any sort of commercial overtones – and instead, the album has Davis really spinning out this rich, warm groove – arranged throughout by James Mack, who brings in a perfect Chicago balance of soul and sophistication – elements that many of Tyrone's contemporaries cooked up in the past, but hardly did this well at the time! And Davis' vocals somehow seem better than ever – more expressive in more ways, but never overtone – really illustrating that path that deep soul took to the Windy City, while changing up its sound in the process. Titles include a remake of 'Turn Back The Hands Of Time', plus 'Just My Luck', 'I Won't Let Go', 'You're Heaven Sent', 'You Made Me Beautiful',

Recorded 1980 at Universal Studios, Chicago, Illinois
Produced by Leo Graham, James Mack

Tyrone Davis
Born in 1938 in Mississippi, Tyrone Davis moved to Michigan as a teenager and eventually to Chicago. As a young man who performed under the name 'Tyrone The Wonder Boy,' he apprenticed himself to such blues musicians as Freddie King, Otis Clay, Bobby 'Blue' Bland and Little Milton.

He scored numerous R&B hits in the late sixties and early seventies, among them 'Can I Change My Mind,' 'Turn Back The Hands Of Time,' 'Turning Point,' and 'I Wish It Was Me.'

Davis' early hits were followed by a fallow period--the eighties being the 'the dark ages' for most R&B acts. But Davis continued to issue albums, amassing a catalog equaled only by Johnnie Taylor in Southern Soul annals.

Never one to discriminate a great deal about the material he put out, Davis made his share of ill-conceived covers, but they were always more than compensated for by the sheer number and clockwork consistency of the treasures: 'Where Are You, Lady,' 'Sugar Daddy,' 'Tip Tow Through The Bedroom,' 'Banging The Headboard,' right up to 2004's 'Try My Love' (to name an arbitrary sampling spanning his last decade).

Indeed, Davis was producing chitlin' circuit hits long after Bobby 'Blue' Bland had become inactive and Johnnie Taylor had passed away. Ironically, the early years of the 21st century found Davis very near the peak of his powers at the same time his health was failing.

This album contains no booklet.
