Uptown by Gloria Barnes is a shining gem of the soul and funk landscape, first introduced to the world in 1971 and revered for its emotional depth and remarkable vocal delivery. Backed by The Hustlers, Barnes’ voice soars and aches across every track—most notably on the seven-minute epic "Old Before My Time," where her raw power and vulnerability truly shine.
This 2018 reissue gives listeners a chance to experience a classic album celebrated on the Northern Soul circuit, with heartfelt performances that capture a pivotal moment in soul music history. With its original blend of stirring melodies and driving rhythms, Uptown is essential listening for fans of powerful vocals and authentic funk grooves.
