Marcella Detroit, Richard Thompson And Other Stars Join Forces To Fight Parkinson’s

Parkinson’s disease is a terrible thing, and while there are ways to mitigate its symptoms, it still can’t be cured – but specialists tirelessly try to find a way to create a medicine, and there are charities that support this research. Last year, one of those, bearing a simple name Cure Parkinson’s, secured the backing of the KINDRED SPIRIT music projects who invited a stellar array of singers and players to join forces and record a series of pieces for an album which would benefit the noble cause. The album is ready for release now and will be issued under the title of “Think Loud 4 Parkinson’s” on February 14th.

There are originals like “Meet On The Ledge” as delivered by FAIRPORT and their friends, there are covers like FREE’s “All Right Now” that features Arthur Brown and Sonia Kristina, and then there are brilliant duos such as Ann Peebles and Deborah Bonham’s on “I Can’t Stand the Rain” and Leo Sayer and Marcella Detroit’s on “Soul Mining” – and there are archival entries from the late Gary Brooker and Bob Weston. But all of it started with Sayer’s titular track which debuted last year (watch the video below). A great endeavor!
