You put a move on my heart  –  Tamia (In 1995 Quincy Jones released an album called ‘Q Jook Joint’ – and featured on it was this trak which was also appeared on her debut album also)

That old black magic   –  The Softones (One of a handful of early promotional 12″ … this song was sung by crooners like Frank Sinatra which was written by Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer)

Funn  –  Gunchback Boogie Band (One-off trak on Prelude Records … produced by Amir Bayyan formerly of ‘The Kay Gees’- a Funk band on Delite Records and an associate of Kool & The Gang)

You don’t know  –  Mass Syndicate featuring Su Su Bobien (A ‘tear up the hymn book’ piece of Gospel-House)

Harlem  –  Bill Withers (Songsmith extraordinaire … Bill came to the world’s ears via Sussex Records – head honcho Clarence Avant usually left his artists to create their magic without interference which was obviously the right decision hence the now classics Bill has written)

Tried, tested and found true – Ashford & Simpson (After leaving Motown Records where they were primarily known as writers – they pacted with Warner Brothers where they used the cream of the East Coast session musicians … this was from their ‘So Satisfied’ lp – released in 1977)

Stimulation  –  The Strangers (Hubert Eaves known as the brains behind ‘D-Train’, drummer Howard King and guitarist Edward Moore put together this one-off studio project for Salsoul Records)

Let yourself go   –  Sybil (Assigned to Next Plateau Records and produced by James Bratton her releases were instant underground dance floor action in the mainly black music based clubs … Champion Records were the U.K. licensee)

Bridge over troubled water  –  Roberta Flack (We all know this is a cover the the Simon & Garfunkel masterpiece however Roberta made it her own … she played piano on the lp … from the album ‘Quiet Fire’ )

Let go  –  France Joli (Producer Tony Green likes them young – musically speaking of course as France was only sixteen when this trak was released on Prelude Records  … his other prodigy was 14 year old Freddie James when Tony produced his debut lp)

Don’t stop ’til you get enough  –  James Chance & The Contortions (James Siegfried went to New York playing his ‘Contorted’ saxophone with his Punk band …  there was usually an interesting Funky cover on his albums – in this case Michael Jackson mega-hit)

I  know a place  –  Victor Simonelli presents Sound of One (Released on One Records … vocals inspired by “I’ll take you there – Staple Singers”  … backbeat inspired by “Everyman – Double Exposure”)
