Oh, boy. That guy crooning above is the super tight Renaldo Domino. First of all, how baller is that name? Secondly, I can't get over the purple suit OR the gold tinfoil curtain. I swear to gawd. I'm obsessed with this album. It's part of a series of albums put out by the Numero Group label, which showcase and re-release old and tight soul. This particular album is mainly made up of music from the old Twinight label. As you can see, it's #13 in the series and known as Twinight's Lunar Rotation. It's one of my life goals to collect all the Numero Group albums. I have about four. CHRISTMAS IDEA FOR ANNIE!!
Renaldo is featured on this album, and it took me a bit to figure out it was him being a huge badass on the cover. How tight? According to legend, he was renamed "Domino" because his voice was as sweet as Domino sugar. Well, I love everything about that story. He is soulful and funky, and sings in a super tight falsetto voice that makes all the ladies weak at the knees! However, I had a lot of trouble finding other information about RD on the interweb, so I guess you will just have to sit back and enjoy the music for what it's worth.

Tight he is. He's performing tomorrow night here in Chicago at our Eccentric Soul Review and he hasn't lost a drop of sweetness. I'll show him your post.
