1978 · THE LISTENING ROOM

RESURRECT

The King Tones & Marie

The review

The King Tones make two Tatsuro Yamashita songs their own through close doo-wop harmony. Both had originally been written for this album. Their voices give the pieces a lineage stretching back to the group's 1960s roots while opening a path into city pop.
