You took the words right out of my mouth! I see Jamie Foxx strong in his face!!!! Whoa! Jesse, I can't find Gloria on audio. I think you have to have the movie to hear it...anyway, I am so glad you featured this talented artist. Now I'm already hooked. He didn't get the exposure he was/is due..so I will do my part to change that...right here, right now...enjoy!

I like that Distant Lover. It could be a nice Stepper's Cut!
Marshall is on the WestSide of Chicago. This is a link of Louis' MySpace page.

Oh yes, I've heard of Marshall on the westside right? I graduated from John Marshall Harlan on 96th & Michigan.

Carl Anderson did do some work with Stevie..he's another one that was underexposed to me. Fabulous voice like Louis'. I have all of his albums...and miss him. He died not too long ago at a young age.

I have never heard of this Temp before. You can hear the "church" in his voice. And he does look like Jamie Foxx.

Only by name but I don't remember any of his songs. I think he did some things with Stevie Wonder.
Everyone who has heard Gloria on WMCJ always wanted a copy. But it was never released and only sung in the movie. Louis was a graduate of Marshall High School. You ever hear of it?

I don't like that 'canned' sound though. Motown could have done better you would think, but his voice is rich and beautiful to the max. He reminds me of Carl Anderson. Are you familiar with him Jesse??

Thanks Ms edie2k2
Gloria was written by Woody and Ron Shelton, who's the director of the movie.
Now does Louis look like Jamie Foxx's father or what?

Woody Harrelson..?? Git out! I'll research it today and just in case anyone wants Louis' album:

Louis Price - Louis Price (1991)

Louis Bernhardt Price is an American R&B, soul singer, and actor notable for being the lead singer of the first post-Dennis Edwards led version of The Temptations from 1977 to 1980.
Price joined the group just as they were leaving their longtime label Motown for Atlantic Records. Price sung lead on the songs "Here to Tempt You" and "Bare Back". The Atlantic-era Temptations records fizzled on the charts and Price's tenure was short-lived. He was replaced by a returning Dennis Edwards as the group returned to Motown in 1980.
He then joined The Drifters and remained with them through the first half of the 1980s....

Tracks List:

01 - Distant Lover (5:54)
02 - Play It by Heart (4:21)
03 - Heart's Devotion (5:34)
04 - Flesh & Blood (4:12)
05 - What Becomes of the Broken Heart (4:20)
06 - Nobody But You (3:58)
07 - Just One Thing (4:10)
08 - How Can I Make You Love Me (4:11)
09 - Try It Baby (4:03)
10 - I Believe in You (3:57)

By the way! Louis can be heard and seen in the movie "White Men Can't Jump". He sings a number of songs in the soundtrack. My favorite is Gloria. Which was co-written by Woody Harrelson of all people.
