1973 WAS THE YEAR THAT LEROY HUTSON STARTED HIS SOLO CAREER AT CURTOM RECORDS. HE REPLACED CURTIS MAYFIELD WHEN MR. MAYFIELD LEFT THE VERY SUCCESSFUL GROUP THE IMPRESSIONS, TO GO SOLO. LEROY FIRST SOLO RECORDING WAS 1973'S "LOVE OH LOVE" EVERY TRACK ON THIS ALBUM COULD HAVE BEEN A MILLION DOLLAR SELLER. IN 1974 HIS SECOND LP "THE MAN" WAS RELEASED, NOT AS GOOD AS THE FIRST, BUT WHO CARES IT WAS LEROY. 1975 GAVE US HUTSON I. ANOTHERMASTERPIECE. EARLY IN 1976 HE RELEASED "FEEL THE SPIRIT" LATER THAT SAME YEAR HE GAVE US HUTSON II ANOTHER WORK OF ART. THIS MAN WAS SO TALENTED, I JUST DON'T KNOW WHY HE NEVER HAD DOUBLE PLATINUM SALES. HE SHOULD HAVE WON EVERY MUSIC AWARD KNOW TOMANKIND, BUT HE DIDN'T WIN ANY. SHAME ON THE MUSIC INDUSTRY FOR PASSING THIS MAN BY. "UNFORGETTABLE" (A COVERED TUNE ORIGINALLY RECORDED BY NAT KING COLE) WAS HIS NEXT RELEASED. LEROY TRIED IT ONE MORE TIME IN 1982 WITH "PARADISE" HIS LAST WORK IS HARD TO FIND. LEROY AND DONNY HATHAWAY WERE ROOMATES AT HOWARD UNVERSITY IN WASHINGTON DC. AS YOU CAN SEE IM A LEROY FAN WAS AND IS. THE MAN WAS A TALENT AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN REWARDED.
