Philip Bailey - Chinese Wall
Walking on the Chinese Wall e Easy Lover, los dos temas incluidos en Chinese Wall, álbum solista del fantástico vocalista Philip Bailey (su falsete es una firma de Earth, Wind & Fire), en los cuales participa Phil Collins como productor, cantante y baterista, inundaron las radios FM y sirvieron para impulsar la carrera solista de Bailey a mitad de los ochentas.
Solo que el disco no demuestra el potencial que posee, en particular porque varias de las canciones son descartables, empezando por la terrible tecno-dance Photogenic Memory, decididamente un contexto que desfavorece sus grandísimas cualidades.
Las baladas For Every Heart That's Been Broken y Show You the Way to Love son decentes; y el estribillo de Go es el único que recuerda a la enorme agrupación funk-soul-disco, solo de saxo de Don Myrick incluido (y cercenado).
Pero es la magnífica canción Children of the Ghetto, por lejos lo destacado en esta grabación, y la razón para adquirir esta placa.***
