Paradise Trax is on holiday/vacation for this week – but kindly delve into the older blogs for some tantalisingly hot trax … of course we will still be at Island Bar on sunday … Thank You Paradise Brothers !

I can’t wait until the morning comes  –  Phil Perry (From his cd ‘Magic’ and that’s truly the way to describe this singer’s voice  …  Phil has also put his background vocals to artists such as Quincy Jones, Patti LaBelle, Roberta Flack et al)

Good love makes everything alright  –  Melba Moore (Co-written and produced by Van ‘The Hustle’ McCoy  … you can hear his “Sound” that is mainly prominent on the trax he produced for RCA recording artists ‘Faith, Hope & Charity)

Body lovers  –  Con funk shun (This self contained septet funk ensemble scored Gold albums in the  U.S however hardly dented the charts elsewhere  …  their trax are now being sampled by variety of Hip hop artists including Li’l Wayne)

Time to stop  – The S Man (Roger Sanchez’s sample-laden anthem released on the short-lived but legendary Hard Times Records … credited to Roger Sanchez on some releases or compilations  …  featured an essence of ‘Walking on sunshine’ written by Eddy Grant)

Forever  –  Marc Sadane (Marc covers The Orlons’s  underground hit which hark back to the early Sixties when the musical style of singing ‘Doo-wop’ was still in vogue … co-written by Brian & Eddie Holland known for their many compositions Motown Records Artists … produced by James Mtume & Reggie Lucas)

Tiger Tiger  –  Bionic Boogie (Greg Diamond released his third studio lp which featured New York session singing stalwarts which includes Luther Vandross, Jocelyn Brown, Lani Groves & Janet Wright)

Wide Receiver  –  Michael Henderson (After been a bass player for a number of years Michael then musically hooked up with Norman Connors and became known as a vocalist … he then dropped W.R.  –  a term about American football that became a monster hit towards his final days with Buddha Records)

Pray  – Joi Cardwell (The Queen of Eightball Records have had a plethora of dance trax which was mainly written by herself …. the is one of the multiple mixes that were available)
