Andre Lee has a distinctive story telling style of vocals reminiscent of Joe Tex back in the 60s . If you enjoy Southern Soul then you'll enjoy this tale about a One Night Stand. The backing chorus on this is superb. It's just a shame a proper horn section a la Memphis Stax is missing replaced by a synth. Oh well! I suppose the expense was too great for the real thing. Imagine this being performed with a Mar-keys style horn section in the background instead of the synth. ("Oh, Yeah!") Let's not take anything away from Andre Lee's vocals. Nor from the song itself.
So, give a big hand for the the Balladeer of Southern Soul as he tells you the tale of a One Night Stand. (By the way it's not smutty but it does reflect 21st century life more than the 60s!)
One Night Stand is taken from Andre Lee's second album Straight From The Heart (2008), his first released back in 1998 entitled So Good. (Still just about available. See Amazon UK for the few remaining copies). One Night Stand and the other tracks from Straight From The Heart are available as downloads.
