positiveSOUL News: Al's 2007 debut album"Old School Lovin' still available world wide.
Recorded in Copenhagen, Denmark, mixed in Memphis, Tennessee.
Turn to Memphis, Tennessee. It is here at Willie Mitchell's Royal Recording Studios where Al Campos would find his authentic sound and mixes. Willie Mitchell and his son Boo Mitchell would honor Al Campos by mixing all 11 songs on the album. Willie Mitchell is best known as the producer and songwriter for the great American legend in soul music, Al Green.
Quote: “Al, you may not know what you got, but I do. What you have here is a SMASH HIT record.”
“The torch has been passed to you. I love your music. You've got something for everyone.”
These are the words of Mr. Willie Mitchell, legendary producer and songwriter at Royal Recording Studios in Memphis, Tennessee.
Al Campos is a singer, trombone player, songwriter, producer and teacher.
Al was born in East Los Angeles and raised in Highland Park, Los Angeles, CA.
By the age of 8, he already began playing his first instrument, drums.
During junior high school he taught himself to play trombone, an instrument he still plays to this day. A singing trombone player! Not many of those around.
After relocating to North Beach in San Francisco, he lived in the bay area for nearly 9 years. It was here where he met his future wife, Lone, a Danish girl on vacation.
Five months after they met, in 1988 they married at Sutro Cliff House in San Francisco. They spent nearly 2 years as a married couple in North Beach until 1990 when they both relocated to Copenhagen, Denmark.
Al & his wife, Lone remain happily married after 21 years and are still living in the Copenhagen neighborhood called, Østerbro.
Although Al Campos is a “new” solo artist to the world, he is a veteran musician, trombone player and vocalist with over 30 years of experience.
Rooted deeply in soul, r&b, gospel and jazz, Al Campos has written all the lyrics and music on Old School Lovin'.
He has also co-written some of the tracks on Old School Lovin' with his European band members.
