First love never  dies  –  Eugene Wilde & Joanna Gardner  (From a near forgotten film soundtrack  :  Rappin’ … both artists were at the  time assigned to Philly World)

Sexy   –  MFSB  (Mother, Father, Sister, Brother …  musicians includes Norman Harris, Earl Young, Larry Washington, Vince Montana, Don Renaldo String & Horns … these are some of the names helped and started Disco which metamorphosed into Garage/House)

Here’s a funk , there’s a funk, everywhere a funk funk  –  Gaston  (Also known as The Pied Piper of Funkingham … their imaginative titles are just as enjoying as their music)

Trax feat. Chuck Stanley, Saturday Night Band, Mad Dog Fire Department, Rozlyn Sorrel

 

The Finer things in life  –  Chuck Stanley  (Released on Def Jam before they launched Original Black Records  subsidary  –  Soul Music on a Hip-Hop label)

Come on dance dance  –  Saturday Night Band  (A three trak hit lp on Prelude –  where every one is potent)

Cosmic Funk  –  Mad Dog Fire Department (Musically ‘out of this  world’ however this came from the ‘down to earth’ musical mind of Tommy Stewart)

Sucker for Candy  –  Rozlyn Sorrel  (Prod. by Paul Simpson – this  trak was overlooked hopefully this blog might make it a belated ‘new classic’)

Trax featured Norman Connors feat. Miss Adaritha, Chuck Cissel, Keith Barrow, Doug Lazy

You bring me joy  –  Norman Connors feat. Miss Adaritha (Aka Ada Dyer … later covered by Anita Baker, written by David Lasley – a session vocalist who worked beside Luther, Jocelyn Brown, Patti Austin et al … recently released on cd)

Cisselin’ Hot  –  Chuck Cissel (There only one way to describe this Cisselin’ … he also had to be pretty talented to write a song based around his name)

Turn me up – Keith Barrow (This man crossed the boundaries of Soul, Disco & Funk and if he lived long enough i’m sure he would’ve included Garage/House in his repertoire … he succeeded 3 out of 4 of our musical genres … since been released on cd)

Let it roll  –  Doug Lazy  (Hip-hop music gets a house beat hence the sub-genre Hip-house)
