1985 Impact Records

Priority is a standout album from the funk, soul, and R&B group Priority, released in 1985 under Impact Records. Known for their tight grooves, infectious rhythms, and dynamic vocals, Priority brought a fresh, vibrant sound to the mid-‘80s R&B scene. This self-titled album showcases their ability to blend funky basslines with soulful melodies and pop sensibilities, making it a hidden gem for fans of ‘80s R&B and soul.

The album's tracks are filled with upbeat dance grooves and smooth, seductive ballads that demonstrate the band's versatility and energy. The vinyl release captures the spirit of the era with its lush arrangements and solid instrumentation. Featuring memorable hooks, powerful rhythms, and rich vocals, Priority is a must-have for collectors of classic soul and R&B from the ‘80s.

If The Imperials and White Heart recorded together in 1985 . . .

If The Imperials and White Heart recorded together in 1985, it would sound like Priority. Paul Smith of the Imperials co-produced it, and Mark Gersmehl co-wrote a song, as did Billy Smiley. Kurt Sullivan (yes the one in 4Him) was the lead vocalist, and there's a whole mix of people working on this thing, including Keith Thomas, White Heart, Bill Gaither Trio and Imperials personnel and other CCM pros. The tenor vocals are produced to sound very Scott Douglas-ish, which pushes that Imperials + White Heart feeling even more.

So the result is a polished early 80's CCM record. Very Imperials-ish in the balance of rockers that don't rock too hard, some ballads, and some really tight harmonies. I don't consider this a must have, but it's really rare -- it was released shortly before Benson's Impact label went belly up. If you like Southern Gospel mixed with lite rock, you'll dig this one. And there's a lot of cool names in the credits if you collect that sort of thing.
