Today’s trax

 

 

Come to me   –  Ruby Winters (Another vocalist that had talent coming out of her pores who now musically nearly seems never existed)

Wake up and be somebody  –  Brainstorm (The question that has been continually been asked ‘why wasn’t this band more successful ?’ Answer : like me – everybody focused on their massive disco hit and not listened to the rest of the lp – it’s now on cd & it’s worth buying)

West Coast Poplock  –  Ronnie Hudson (Credited to Ronnie Hudson & the Street People and was re-released on the ‘never heard of’ South Central soundtrax and it would have died a death but it was sampled for Califonia Love – Tupac)

I wanted you  –  Stacy Kidd feat. Matthew Yates (Released on Tony Humphries’s often elusive but always quality Yellorange Records)

Today’s trax

That’s what love is  –  Miki Howard feat. Gerald Levert (Gerald – son of Eddie Levert – one of The O’Jay’s … trak was written by the then lovers over the phone)

Ninety nine and a half  –  The Trammps (They were known to take a cover and make it their own in this case it was  Wilson Pickett’s turn …. written by Eddie Floyd, Steve Cropper and the man himself Wilson Pickett)

Music  –  One Way (Formally known as Al Hudson & the Soul Partners – they changed their name about the same time ABC Records was bought by MCA Records)

Take a stand for love  –  Gerideau (My brothers and sisters, the day has finally come – to live together as one … who says dance music is just about the beat ….released on Music Station out of New Jersey)

Today’s trax

 

And the melody lingers on  –  Chaka Khan (Chaka put words to Dizzy Gillespie’s jazz masterwerk  ‘A Night in Tunisa’)

Welcome to the disco  –  Air Power (One off disco classic released on American Variety International by all-round producer/musician Donald Burnside)

Bread  –  Idris Muhammed (From his CTI/Kudu sessions comes this unusual multi-traked vocals, down-beat funk … and they are talking about what most of us haven’t got … dollars, nuggets, money)

Touch the sky  Dennis Ferrer feat. Mia Tuttavilla (Dennis and Mia didn’t just ‘touch they sky’ – they take you to heaven)
