Trax feat. Gladys Knight, Biddu Orchestra, Peter Brown, Manu Dibango

If you only knew  –  Gladys Knight (After ‘The Pips’ and Gladys went their separate way – she continued with her solo career, eventually signed on the dotted line with MCA Records releasing ‘Just for you’ from which this is culled … dedicated to my late brother as Gladys was his favourite singer)

Jump for joy  –  Biddu Orchestra (Biddu – an Indian national came to the U.K and became known as the producer of Carl Douglas’s monster single ‘Kung Fu Fighting’ before his Orchestra started having hits … Biddu later went to produce hits for artists in his native land)

Burning love breakdown  –  Peter Brown (Peter released a 9 minutes plus 12″ of “Do you want to get funky with me” on ‘Drive’, an imprint of TK Records … however the b side of some releases – mainly U.S copies contained this awesome edit)

Soul Makossa  –  Manu Dibango (The original inspired the chorus of Michael Jackson’s ‘Wanna be startin’ somethin”  … this was remixed by JohNick for Atlantic/Rhino remixed project “Everybody Dance ! Remixed Dance Classics” )
