{"product_id":"going-east","title":"Going East","description":"Billy Paul's Philadelphia International label debut boasts few of the hallmarks of its breakthrough follow-up 360 Degrees of Billy Paul, let alone Philly soul as a whole -- if anything, the album hews far closer to jazz, with a potent spiritual dimension that defies expectations even further. Apart from the Gamble\/Huff composition \"Love Buddies,\" the material draws from sources outside of the Philly International sphere, spanning from Rodgers \u0026amp; Hart's \"There's a Small Hotel\" to Gene McDaniels' \"Compared to What.\" The arrangements are complex but deeply funky, perfectly suited to Paul's sagelike vocals. A fascinating, genre-defying record, finally reissued on CD in 2007 as part of a two-fer with the subsequent War of the Gods. ~ Jason Ankeny","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47539145277727,"sku":"886976076627","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/0cbca69714a548b7355447e06e3eb0af.jpg?v=1777843459","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/going-east","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
