The Atlantic Collection 1979-1985

Robinsongs brings you the complete Atlantic Collection of the Soul, Funk, and Disco Band Kleeer, along with a Bonus Disc of 12” & 7” versions of key tracks. The albums included in this collection are I Love To Dance, Winners, License To Dream, Taste The Music, Get Ready, Intimate Connection, Seeekret, and a bonus disc of tracks from 1979 through 1985.

All the big floor fillers are featured in this collection, including the John Wayne influenced ‘Get Tough’, ‘Winners’, ‘Tonight’s The Night (Good Time)’, ‘Keep Your Body Workin’’, ‘De Ting Continues’, and the very smooth ‘Intimate Connection’ which was produced by Deodato.

Kleeer formed in New York City in 1972 under the name of Pipeline. They then became the Jam Band before Kleeer was born and a deal with Atlantic Records followed. The band consisted of Paul Crutchfield (Percussion and Vocals), Richard Lee (Guitar), Norman Durham (Bass Guitar), and “Woody” Cunningham (Drums). Kleeer tracks have been heavily sampled over the years, most notably by Snoop Dogg and 2 Pac.
