White Chocolate-White Chocolate (1973)

White Chocolate was a melodic hard rock band that was one of the sensations of the American East Coast for several years. The band was formed in the early 1970s by guitarist and vocalist Charlie Karp, drummer Jimmy Maher, and bassist David Hull. Their brilliant performances on the local circuit caught the attention of talent scouts, and RCA Records eventually signed them and financed an album that is now considered a cult classic among American hard rock fans. Released in 1973 and produced by Bruce Somerfeld, it also featured collaborations with various studio musicians, including Andre Lewis (keyboards), a horn section composed of Jerry Mirlaini, Jerry Marant, and Gene Hull, and vocalist Maxayn Lewis. From boogie soul sounds "Getting Ready to Rock'n'Roll", to psychedelic hard rock exercises "Midnight Flight", passing through energetic southern rock "I'm Crying" and "Looking For Love", hard rock "Make It Easy", funk rock "Let's Get Funked", mainstream rock "Sad Eyes" or irresistible blues rhythms "Outcast", make up an attractive album of the best North American hard rock.
