Trax feat. The Dells, Brenda Taylor, Bill Wolfer, East West Connection

I touched a dream  –  The Dells (The Dells should’ve assigned to Kenneth Gamble & Leon Huff’s record label  but because of red tape that was not possible, so “If you don’t know me by now” went to ‘Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes – where they did  a stellar job)

You can have your cake and eat it too  –  Brenda Taylor (Credited  as B.T. on the record and released on “After Hour Records” before re-released on ‘West End’ for worldwide distribution … co-written by Clifton Dyson)

Papa was a rolling stone  –  Bill Wolfer (Bill came to prominence as the synthesizer wunderkind for Stevie Wonder – he debut on Constellation Records, a unit of Solar … he updates a Norman Whitfield classic)

All in the run of the day  –  Barry White (Barry was in charge of A & R at “Bronco Records” which signed Viola Wills … he re-arranged his old ‘Bronco’ single slowing it down and adding a Rap as a tribute to his mother – from the album “Dedicated”, released on his own ‘Unlimited Gold Records)

Girl, you need a change of mind  –  Eddie Kendricks (Former “Temptation” goes solo and releases what’s classed as one of the first Disco trax – it was produced by Frank Wilson who started by asking the musicians to building the rhythm then breaking it down instead the other way round)

Totally Connected  –  T Connection (Bahamans T.C. were assigned to Henry Stone’s ‘Dash’ imprint of his T.K Records empire … the title trak of their last album before they hotfooted to Capitol Records)

I’m the only Queen  –  Norma Jean Bell (The backbeat was inspired ‘Pull up to the bumper’ before before Norma Jean belts out some original lyrics along with her trademark  saxophone later in the mix … released on her own “Pandamonium Records”)
