Seawind – He Loves You/ Please Say Yes (Expansion) 7″ PRE-ORDER

PRE-ORDER FOR 17TH NOV

Expansion Records are delighted to release on 7” single for the very first time, the classic
Seawind track “He Loves You”. Originally released on the band’s self-titled album on
CTI Records in 1976. Written by the band’s drummer Bob Wilson, it’s elevated by the
‘samba spice’ of legendary guest Brazilian percussionist Paulinho da Costa, making it a
massive underground hit in the global dancefloor jazz scene. Another core highlight of the
1976 recording is an iconic, highly transcribed flugelhorn solo arranged and performed by
legendary horn master Jerry Hey, devotional lead vocals by Pauline Wilson. Furthermore,
the B-side “Please Say Yes” has never previously been issued on vinyl. The 1981 two-
step gem was only released much later as a CD bonus track. Both tracks solidify the
reputation of the ‘Seawind Horns’ (Jerry Hey, Larry Williams, and Kim Hutchcroft). This
horn unit became the most sought-after session section in Los Angeles, ultimately shaping
mega-albums like Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ and ‘Off the Wall’.
