Spin of the Week: Phylicia Allen “Around The World”

Spin of the week! Powered by Forward Times. Album: Phylicia Allen, Josephine Superstar Song: Around The World Why this selection? “Claire Huxtable got an album???” Is what I said to my friend and fellow vinyl collector, Flash G. Parks. He proceeded to school me on the fact that Houston’s own, Phylicia Rashad (then Allen) in fact had made an album in tribute to Josephine Baker, the first black international star. Days later he’d gift me that very album to add to my collection. It’s a very disco heavy vibe, but this song stood out to me the most. Check it out!
