"Watching You" est un album de funk et de soul vibrant du groupe dynamique Platinum Hook désormais disponible en format CD. Sorti à l'origine en 1981, cet opus met en avant le style unique du groupe : des lignes de basse entraînantes et puissantes accompagnées d'une section cuivre énergique et de rythmes irrésistibles qui ont marqué la fin des années 1970 et le début des années 1980. Réputé pour ses prestations scéniques explosives et son approche innovante du funk/soul américain, Platinum Hook s'est imposé comme une référence avec ce disque incontournable comprenant notamment les titres « Gotta Find a Woman », « What You Want » ou encore « Watching You ». Cette réédition provient du label spécialisé Funky Town Grooves reconnu pour sa sélection pointue d'albums classiques soul/disco/R&B restaurés avec soin ; leur mission est de faire revivre ces trésors oubliés auprès des collectionneurs comme des nouveaux amateurs.
