Zulema
Ms. Z (Sussex) 1973
Florida native Zulema Cusseaux came to Hollywood to cut a pair of LPs for Sussex in the early ’70s. Taken from her sophomore album, “Hold Back the Night” is classic Los Angeles studio soul, with choir-like backing vocals, frenetic drumming, and slightly progressive chord changes all competing for the listener’s attention and clamoring for radio play that would never materialize.
