Experience the Groove of 1970s Soul: "Headed for the Streets" Remastered
Step back into the golden age of R&B with Headed for the Streets—a soulful, up-tempo anthem of unrequited love that became a San Francisco Bay Area favorite upon its debut in 1977 on Loadstone Records. Co-written by James LeBlanc and Herman Harper II, who delivers its unforgettable vocals, the track made its mark on Billboard's charts and captured the hearts of soul lovers with its infectious grooves, heartfelt lyrics, and powerful vocal performance.
Though national airwaves didn't fully embrace Headed for the Streets' soulful blend of rhythm and blues, Motown sound and gospel at the time, Herman Harper II didn't miss a beat. He carried the spirit of soul worldwide, gracing stages across Europe and Asia in supper clubs, bars, discos, hotels, and cruise lines, including Holland America Cruise Line, Commodore Cruise Line, Vacation Cruise Lines, Costa Cruises and Royal Caribbean Cruises. Harper II's passion never waned—he remains active today, crafting new music and delivering powerful performances to audiences across the globe.
Soul music in the 1970s captured the essence of a generation yearning for self-expression, social change, and a celebration of the human spirit. Now, thanks to a resurgence of European and Asian appreciation for authentic 1970s soul, Headed for the Streets has been remastered by Emmy-winning engineer BZ Lewis. Brought back to life by Robert Jacobs, Loadstone Records' original arranger, this timeless classic is available worldwide through Kudos Distribution.
