Mel Starr

This 70s production on the obscure Houston label Tripple Park label is the only release I know by Mel Starr. “Loving On The Outside” is a pounding southern dancer with a rather leaden disco beat, but the flip has a considerably more tasteful feel. ListenThat Means So Much To Me is probably familiar to many via the fine version by the great Z Z Hill on his “Down Home” LP. But Mel’s is the original cut and he certainly gives the soulful melodic number his best shot.
