{"product_id":"the-raw-the-cooked-1","title":"THE RAW \u0026 THE COOKED","description":"Amazon.com\n\nWith The Raw \u0026amp; the Cooked, the Fine Young Cannibals broke into the mainstream with their particular soul-injected sound. They were seemingly infatuated with late-'50s and early-'60s Motown, and the musical influences on this album range from boogie (\"Good Thing,\" on which Squeeze keyboardist Jools Holland goes to town with a foot-stompin' piano solo) to poodle-skirted slow dance (\"As Hard As It Is,\" \"Tell Me What\"), then stretch as far as Prince-like funk (\"Don't Let It Get You Down\"). Possessing one of the most unusual voices in all of pop music, lead singer Roland Gift gives this album its distinction and the Fine Young Cannibals their identity. About half the songs (including the hit \"She Drives Me Crazy\") are graced with Gift's steady, crystal-clear falsetto, but it's his swollen-throated lower register, where he sounds like he is singing through a trumpeter's plunger mute, that really makes his voice unmistakable. --Beth Bessmer\n\nProduct description\n\nThe Raw \u0026amp; The Cooked\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000002O5R\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 4EKGRJ006E9Y_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Fine Young Cannibals\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
