Key tracks include the international smash hit 'Easy Lover', a celebrated duet with Phil Collins, plus US R\u0026amp;B classics 'I Know', 'Walking on the Chinese Wall', 'Children of the Ghetto', 'State of the Heart', and many more. Includes production from George Duke, Phil Collins, and Nile Rodgers, and songwriting from Richard Marx, Glen Ballard, and members of The System plus a brand new interview with Bailey offering insights on this pivotal era of his career. Throughout the 1970s and early 80s, Philip Bailey's rich falsetto powered some of the biggest hits by Earth, Wind \u0026amp; Fire, from 'Shining Star' and 'That's the Way of the World' to 'Fantasy' and 'September'. When EW\u0026amp;F founder Maurice White put the group on hiatus in 1983, Bailey fearlessly embarked on a new musical journey, building cutting-edge R\u0026amp;B albums with a galaxy of talent, including some of the most formidable producers in soul and pop history. These albums showcased the full versatility of Bailey's distinctive voice and forged creative partnerships that would last throughout his entire career. In 1985, with the help of fan-turned- producer and duet partner Phil Collins, Bailey scored one of the most enduring hits of the decade with 'Easy Lover', a US No. 2 and UK No. 1 smash. Bonus tracks include 'Love is Alive' from the soundtrack to The Goonies and the rollicking theme to the blockbuster comedy Twins, recorded as a duet with rock and soul legend Little Richard as well as extended dance music mixes of 'Easy Lover' and 'I Know'. Produced and compiled by Mike Duquette and Joe Marchese of popular re-issue site The Second Disc, and includes a 24-page booklet. The package is designed by John Sellards with rare images from the Sony Music archives, and all audio has been newly mastered by Donald Cleveland.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Know\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrapped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's Our Time (Duet with Deniece Williams)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Waiting for Your Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVaya (Go with Love)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Good Guy's Supposed to Get the Girls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour Boyfriend's Back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Know (Extended Dance Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotogenic Memory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Go Crazy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalking on the Chinese Wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor Every Heart That's Been Broken\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhilip Bailey ; Phil Collins: Easy Lover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShow You the Way to Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTime Is a Woman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWoman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChildren of the Ghetto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhilip Bailey ; Phil Collins: Easy Lover (Extended Dance Remix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalking on the Chinese Wall (Single Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhilip Bailey ; Phil Collins: Easy Lover (Single Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove Is Alive (From \"The Goonies\" - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelcome to the Club\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eState of the Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong Distance Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEcho My Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Leave Me Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecial Effect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBecause of You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack It Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake This with You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Day Will Come\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eState of the Heart (Dub Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhilip Bailey\/Little Richard: Twins (From the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack \"Twins\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhilip Bailey\/Little Richard: Twins (Club Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5013929090934\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soulmusic Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.21.23\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Soulmusic Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48073984573540,"sku":"29058","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/2777\/4052\/files\/4185049-2948238.jpg?v=1773696503","url":"https:\/\/latchkeyrecords.com\/products\/philip-bailey-state-of-the-heart-the-columbia-recordings-83-88-cd","provider":"Latchkey","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
