I would be remiss in not mentioning Carlton's album 'The Call Is Strong' from 1990, produced by Smith & Mighty, which I consider the overlooked pinnacle of this sound. One of my great music tragedies is losing my copy of this.
finally found a copy of this out in the wild yesterday, best pound I've spent in ages! had the singles for a while but they never really convinced. album is a different beast though, phenomenal stuff
