Also known as \u003cstrong\u003eWilliam X\u003c\/strong\u003e, Gault recorded this his first and only leader album almost 50 years ago (October 1974). In spite of the elusive and sporadic career Gault has long achieved legendary status among many followers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGault was born in New York in 1941 and studied music at Bennett Highschool and Buffalo University.

Billy Gault had an amazingly soulful way of putting together his work, but never got bogged down in too much sentiment. There's some beautiful stuff on here, This truly is an incredible record -- one of our all-time favourites of this generation!\" (Dusty Groove)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steeplechase","offers":[{"title":"LP - 180g Vinyl","offer_id":49186824847705,"sku":"SDZ-03708","price":39.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Billy_Gault_-_When_Destiny_Calls__The_Music_Of_Billy_Gault_-_2024.jpg?v=1724846196","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/billy-gault-when-destiny-calls-the-music-of-billy-gault-reissue","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
