The Walk

The Walk Best known for their Number One gold record smash hit "The Rapper", The Jaggerz were discovered and produced by the legendary soul music producers Gamble & Huff. The Jaggerz return to their blue-eyed soul music roots on "The Walk". Led by singer Jimmie Ross the Jaggerz bring their uplifting five part harmonies to their heartfelt arrangements of eight R&B classics and two updated recordings from their 1969 "Introducing the Jaggerz" album: Gamblle & Hullf's "Together " and The Jaggerz original "That's Why Baby I Love You". In the title funky break up song "The Walk" Jimmie Ross sings to his fine looking long legged but cheating black hearted woman who has been jagging him around, "So long you did me wrong… You can walk your long legs, baby, right out of my life." Jimmie's passionate soulful voice and the Jaggerz moving harmonies shine on the love ballads "Love Won't Let Me Wait", "The Whole Town's Laughing at Me". and "That's Why Baby I Love You", Donna Groom of the Skyliners guest stars on a duet with Jimmie on the medley arrangement of " It's Gonna Take a Miracle/ I'm On The Outside". The band shows their skillful chops jamming on the uptempo "Move Across the River", "Stagger Lee", and "Having a Party" with great solos from renown piano man Hermie Granati, saxophonist Chris Patarin and guitarists Benny Faiella, Dennis McAbee. Five time Grammy winning producer/engineer Jay Dudt of Audile Images crafted a rich warm full sound for co-producers Hermie Granati and Jimmie Ross's arrangements. It's an album of soulful old school tunes you can put on and enjoy from start to finish over and over again. “Steeped in R&B, The Jaggerz are absolutely thrilling” - Andrew Hamilton - All Music Guide "Introducing the Jaggerz" Jimmie Ross - Lead Vocals, Bass Benny Faiella - Guitars, Vocals, Bass Hermie Granati - Keyboards,Vocals, Arrangements Dennis McAbee - Guitar, Bass Paul Martello - Drums, Vocals Chris Patarini - Sax Additional Musicians Rick Mansfield, Ron Levi, Mike Caporizoo, Rege Marki Track # 5 with Donna Groom and Jimmie Ross Tracks 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 10 Recorded at Audible Images,Pittsburgh, Pa.
