Westbound

Westbound is an independent music label that was created in Detroit, Michigan by a421732 in December 1968. Specializing in R&B, Soul, Funk, and Disco, Westbound gained recognition for its talented artists such as Funkadelic and Ohio Players. However, financial troubles led to the label's disappearance at the end of the 70s.

Throughout its existence, Westbound had various distribution deals with notable companies. From 1970 to 1975, it partnered with Chess/Janus Records for distribution. Then from 1975 to 1976, Westbound collaborated with 20th Century-Fox Record Corp. The label later worked with Atlantic from 1977 to 1979 and had a joint release with Elektra Records in 1983.

In terms of labeling on releases, Westbound went through some changes over the years. Between 1969 and 1976, the primary label name on releases was Westbound Records. From 1977 to 1983, it simply became Westbound. In the early '90s, Ace Records based in the UK took on reissuing all of Westbound's catalog along with unreleased material under the primary label name of Westbound Records.

The Clark Sisters’ fourth album for Westbound's Sound Of Gospel label is the one that pushed them firmly towards the crossover market. Whilst there was traditional soul-based gospel fare on tracks like ‘My Cup Runneth Over’ they hustled onto the dance floor on disco-influenced gems like ‘My Life Is Complete With Jesus’ and 'Everything Is Gonna Be Alright'. 

The Clark Sisters were one of the great gospel groups and also part of a great gospel dynasty. Their mother was the great Mattie Moss Clark, and their uncle was Bill Moss. Written, produced and arranged by core member Elbernita “Twinkie” Clark, the album features instrumental contributions from famous Detroit soul names such as Melvin Davis and the Counts’ Leroy Emmanuel. 

Although the Clark Sisters are one of the biggest- selling gospel groups of all time, this is the first time He Gave Me Nothing To Lose has been reissued since it was originally released in 1979.

It’s time to go back to church via the dancefloor.
