Trax feat. Milira, First Choice, The Webboes, The House Master Boyz & The Rude Boys of House

Posted on by under Today's Trax

One man woman  –  Milira (Milira (Jones) came to my notice with the released of her self-titled released album on Apollo/Motown Records – featuring her interpretation of Marvin Gaye  nugget with violinist Noel Pointer … she has since released three albums including the self-release ‘Seduction’)

Love freeze  –  First Choice (Rochelle Fleming and company were still assigned to Stan Watson’s “Philly Groove Records” for the release this non-album trak … it was a ‘sleeper’ but it has since gained momentum after being available on Japanese double cd as an extended version of 5 mins  plus)

Under the wear  –  The Webboes (Written by Andre Booth and release on Sam Weiss’s “Sam Records” … Andre was also known for other “Sam” releases – including trax by ‘Vicki D’)

House Nation  –  The House Master Boyz & The Rude Boys of House (Pseudonym of Farley Keith more famously known as “Farley Jackmaster Funk” was released on Dance Mania Records of Chicago … not as famous as other Chicagoan House labels but just as potent)

Let him go  –  First Choice (The mistress turns up at the wife’s door asking to ‘let her husband Buddy go’ … the third album “Let us entertain you”, produced by Stan Watson and released on Philly Groove/Warner Brothers Records)

My feet keep dancing  –  Chic (The Great Disco Demolition Fire of  Chicago in ’79 where numbskulls decided to burn Disco records cause many radio stations & record labels to drop acts, this meant ‘Chic’ had lesser hits –  yet 30 years later Nile Rodgers & Chic are selling out world tours … Niles’s partner, the late Bernard Edwards feet is probably still ‘keep dancing’
Questions no answers  –  Skyy (Skyy were an eight piece band which featured three ‘Durning’ sisters – Denise, Dolores & Bonne, Solomon Roberts amongst others … assigned to Salsoul Records by their production company  named “Alligator Bit Him”)

This time  –  Michelle Sweeney (Released on Big Beat Records which became an imprint of Atlantic … written by Tony Green and remixed by Stonebridge & Nick Nice)
