Trax feat. Chaka, Mantus, 400 Blows, DJ Pope

 

 

Angel  –  Chaka Khan (Chicago’s Yvette Stevens shot to fame via the band ‘Rufus’ … she then went unto become a solo artist to critical acclaim – this trak is from her ‘Funk This’ album)

Rock it to the top – Mantus (A former Rock group who realised that the emerging musical genre named Disco was worth pursuing … their early breakout hit was remixed by John ‘JellyBean’ Benitez – a future compadre of Madonna)

Movin  –  400 Blows (Supposedly the band is named after a Francois Truffaut movie of the same name … ‘The Blows’ tackled the Brass Construction monster with gusto which was then described as “Industrial Funk” – an Illumimated Records release)

Happy  –  DJ Pope featuring Sheila Ford (First trak from Pope’s album ‘My Way’ … released on Baltimore U.S.A. based ‘Poji Records – co-owned with DJ Oji)
