RISE was their third album release on Capitol
Records and is full of classic sounding 80’s Soul and R&B including the
second single KEEP RUNNIN’. RISE reached the #33 position in the US R&B
charts shortly after it’s release.
BANGIN’ THE BOOGIE, the self-penned first
single, mirrored the success of the album also gaining the R&B #33 spot.
MY FIRST LOVE was the single that really
secured Rene & Angela a large fan base, this terrific ballad secured them
the R&B #12. This rise in attention
for Rene & Angela led to their follow up becoming a platinum selling album.
Released in deluxe Super Jewel cases, with bonus tracks RISE is a must
for all Soul, R&B and Disco fans.
Press:-
"By 1983 Rene and Angela were about to
release their third, and what would become their most successful album, Rise.
This was Rene Moore and Angela Winbush’s follow-up to their 1981 album Wall to
Wall.”
