Leon Huff - Here To Create Music
Review by Gary Jackson
Here To Create Music is an iconic album by the legendary musician Leon Huff. Released in 1980, this album features a collection of soulful and funky tracks that showcase Huff's immense talent as a musician, songwriter, and producer.
From the upbeat and groovy "I Ain't Jivin', I'm Jammin'" to the soulful ballad "No Greater Love," each track on this album is a testament to Huff's artistic vision and musical prowess. The album also features collaborations with some of the most talented musicians of the time, including the likes of Patti LaBelle and Bunny Sigler.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Tight Money," which features a funky bassline, catchy lyrics, and a chorus that will have listeners singing along in no time. Another highlight is "This Is The Moment," a soulful ballad that showcases Huff's incredible vocal range and emotional depth.
