You bring me joy  –  Norman Connors feat. Miss Adaritha (Aka Ada Dyer … later covered by Anita Baker, written by David Lasley – a session vocalist who worked beside Luther, Jocelyn Brown, Patti Austin et al … recently released on cd)

Cisselin’ Hot  –  Chuck Cissel (There only one way to describe this Cisselin’ … he also had to be pretty talented to write a song based around his name)

Turn me up – Keith Barrow (This man crossed the boundaries of Soul, Disco & Funk and if he lived long enough i’m sure he would’ve included Garage/House in his repertoire … he succeeded 3 out of 4 of our musical genres … since been released on cd)
