Willing to forgive – Aretha Franklin (Aretha “Queen of Soul” was first recorded in 1956 in Detroit, U.S.A., – the ‘Gospel’ album was eventually released on Chess Records … writers/producers Kenneth ‘Babyface’ Edmonds & Darryl Simmonds first came to prominence as part of the self-contained group “Manchild” who assigned to Chicago’s “Chi-Sound” label)
Below the belt – Grace Jones (Heading back to Sigma Sound Studios, Philadelphia – Producer, 12 Inch Inventor, Remixer Extra-Ordinaire (and percussionist aka ‘Moto’) Tom Moulton armed himself with John “Monster” Davis and an assortment of Philadelphia’s finest session men and women that were available for Grace’s second ‘platter’)
Somebody gonna off the man – Love Unlimited Orchestra (From the original sound track of “The Together Brothers” – music & lyrics courtesy of Barry White and arranger by Gene Page … uncredited are such luminaries as Melvin ‘Wah Wah Watson” also Nathan East & Ray Parker Junior)
Thanks to you – Dj Spen with Tracy Hamlin (Trak taken from Quantize Records ‘head honcho’ Sean Spencer’s album “Transition” – who puts his own spin on a ‘Paradise Garage’ favourite … Tracy stretched the musical boundaries whilst with Jazz combo “Pieces of a Dream” also was part of The Basement Boys’s ‘Sublevel’ pseudonym)
