Today’s trax Truth Hurts, Touch, Barry White, Blackout Allstars

For your precious love – Truth Hurts (Originally co-written by Jerry Butler and was a mega-hit for his group “The Impressions”… Truth Hurts was an artist on ‘Aftermath Entertainment’ with Shari Watson on lead vocals – this trak was featured on the “Ali” movie sound track)

Love hangover – Touch (Diana Ross’s monster Disco anthem spawned a number of cover versions … released by Brunswick Records & produced by Tony Valor of “It’s too late – Fantasy” – with help from Tom Moulton at Sigma Sound Studios, Philadelphia)

Thank you – Barry White (Written by Sly Stone – this trak has been covered by the Good, the Bad & the Rest however when Barry … who did not do many covers, decided to give it the ‘Barry treatment’ without losing any of it’s originality)

I like it like that – Blackout Allstars (Put together for a latin movie of the same name … featuring a variety of stars including Grover Washington Jnr, Ray Barretto, Sheila E, Tito Puente and David Valentin amongst others – remixed by Bobby D’Ambrosio)
