Too Many People in One Bed

The 1970 sole album release from Phillips was produced and co-written by legendary Jerry ‘Swamp Dogg’ Williams Jr. and is mostly mid-tempo, brass-led country funk and Southern soul. Phillips’ superior take on The Supremes’ ‘Someday We’ll Be Together’ takes it to church, adds some wickedly funky bass and drums and with Swamp Doggs’ soaring strings elevates it into a deep soul anthem. There are some devastating ballads on here too with Phillips’ voice, not a million miles from that rawness you get from Lyn Collins and Ann Peebles providing some genuinely beautiful moments.
