G.O.A.T.
OFTEN IMITATED...NEVER DUPLICATED.
SEX IS THE MESSAGE, BUT THE LEVEL OF CLASS IS UNSURPASSED. UN-FADE-ABLE.
LOVE TO THE WORLD
MARVINS BEEN DEAD NEARLY 30 YEARS (A SENSELESS AND TRAGIC DEATH) YET AND STILL, NONE CAN TOUCH HIM.
IM NOT GOING TO EVEN SPEAK ON THE CLIMATE OF TODAYS POPULAR R&B AND ITS RUDE, CRASS LYRICS AND THE STATE OF ITS 1 MINUTE SHELF LIFE.
SHOUTS TO ADAM G. FOR HIPPING ME TO THIS LINK.
THIS MAY BE THE START OF A SERIES OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIMERS VIDEOS.

COVER ME
ITS BEEN A WHILE SINCE MY LAST POST, MAYBE A BIT TOO LONG YEA ?
I LIKE COVERS, YOU KNOW WHEN ANOTHER BAND OR ARTIST REDOES ANOTHER ARTISTS SONG.
HOWEVER, I FEEL COVERS SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE A TWIST, A DIFFERENT ARRANGEMENT, TEMPO, SOUNDS, ETC.
ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE RAVING ABOUT MAYER HAWTHORNE.
I MET HIM BRIEFLY WHILE IN L.A., SEEMS LIKE A COOL GUY, HAS GREAT TASTE IN MUSIC AND I LOVED HIS 1ST RECORD "AINT GONNA WORK OUT".
I DONT LIKE HIS COVER OF THE ALREADY PERFECT NEW HOLIDAYS "MAYBE SO MAYBE NO".
ITS LIKE THE SAME EXACT SONG.
NOTHINGS REALLY DIFFERENT EXCEPT FOR THE SINGING. IN WHICH CASE THE ORIGINAL IS BETTER.
IM NOT KNOCKING MAYER FOR HIS WORK OR HUSTLE, HE PLAYS ALL OF THE INSTRUMENTS HIMSELF I THINK, AND ITS GREAT THAT YOUNG PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT EXPOSED TO THE NEW HOLIDAYS RECORD ARE VIBING OFF OF MAYERS VERSION, BUT IT'D BE NICE IF HE COULD SOMEHOW LET PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THE ORIGINAL...ESPECIALLY SINCE MAYERS VERSION SOUNDS THE WAY IT DOES.
WHY WOULD A PERSON LIKE MYSELF, WHOS KNOWN ABOUT THIS SONG, EVER WANT TO PLAY MAYERS VERSION INSTEAD OF THE NEW HOLIDAYS ?
IM SURE EVEN MAYER PLAYS THE NEW HOLIDAYS VERSION.
EVERYBODY THAT ASKS ME TO PLAY THE MAYER SONG, I TELL THEM THEY NEED TO HEAR THE OG.
SO HERES THE OG...ENJOY
Sendspace.com: maybe so maybe no this one.mp3 / new holidays
OH YEA, WHILE IM ON THIS TIP.... HOW ABOUT LEE FIELDS !?
I WAS READY TO GO OUT AND BUY THIS GUYS RECORD UNTIL I STUMBLED ACROSS A COPY IN A PILE OF CDS, I HAD NO IDEA I EVEN OWNED A PROMO COPY OF HIS LATEST LP " MY WORLD".
THIS LP IS INCREDIBLE, THE CONVICTION IN HIS VOICE IS THE ESSENCE OF A SOUL SINGER...AT LEAST IN MY BOOK.
WHY ARENT MORE PEOPLE UP ON THIS LEE FIELDS.. GOOD QUESTION. LOOK FOR THIS MANS MUSIC, KILLER STUFF.

IM TELLING YOU....TRUS'ME
I MET DAVID AKA TRUS'ME AT THE BEAT N RHYTHM RECORD SHOP, WHILE I WAS IN MANCHESTER SPINNING A %100 PURE DISCO PARTY CALLED "NORTHERN DISCO" (SHOUTS TO AL KENT/MILLION$$ ORCHESTRA AND LEE SHANKY SHANKLAND !)
I HEARD SOMEBODY CALL MY NAME..AND SOON AFTER WE STARTED TALKING, HE SEEMED SURPRISED I KNEW OF HIM (AS IF I ONLY LIKE OLD MUSIC..)
I LOVED THE FLIP HE DID OF MCNEAL AND NILES... STILL DO. FAST FORWARD A FEW MONTHS NOW... WE BECAME HOMIES.
SO, YOUNG DAVID (YA KNOW LIKE LIL' DEEZY AND YUNG DEE) AKA TRUS'ME ( DONT ASK WHAT A TRUS'ME IS WHILE IN JAPAN ) JUST SENT ME HIS NEW LP " IN THE RED" WHICH DOESNT DROP TIL NOV.
SOME FIIIIIRE ON THIS !!!!! DONT SLEEP !!!
LAST YEAR HE GAVE ME THIS REALLY ROUGH TRACK WITH AMP FIDDLER...COVERING A BILL WITHERS TUNE I BELIEVE... I KEPT SWEATING HIM TO FINISH IT... WELL ITS DONE. AND ITS CRAZY HOT.
THE JOINT WITH DAM- FUNK ON THE VOCODER.... WHOOOOOOEEEEE.
THERES ALSO A TRACK CALLED "SWEET MOTHER" WHICH I HAD A HAND IN ( I HAD THE SAMPLE SET ASIDE, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR OUR PROJECT) YOUNG DAVID BEGGED FOR IT TO MAKE THIS LP..... WHAT COULD I SAY ?
A DEDICATION TO ALL THE MOTHERS OUT THERE
AFRO FUNK,DISCO,909'S BUMPING OVER SOME BEAUTIFUL CHORDS AND SINGING... A WINNER FOR SURE.
MY MOTHER WAS THE BOMB, SHE IS TRULY MISSED, I HOPE YOURS IS TOO ! YOU ONLY GET ONE.
ANYWAY... FANS OF THIS MANS WORK WILL BE PLEASED WHEN THIS DROPS IN NOVEMBER....BE SURE TO COP IT.
I CANT POST THESE NEW TRACKS, BUT I WILL SHARE SOMETHING ELSE OF HIS.
BE SURE TO LOOK OUT FOR LINKWOOD AS WELL...THAT CAT IS CRAZY TALENTED, DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS CREW.
ANYBODY THATS HEARD ME REALLY GET LOOSE, OR HAS KNOWN ME FOR A WHILE....KNOWS HOW MUCH I LOVE G.Q. AND THE CONNECTION THAT THIS GROUP HAS TO MY CHILDHOOD.
FOR THOSE THAT DONT KNOW, THEY WERE A DIFFERENT GROUP BEFORE G.Q.... CALLED THE RHYTHM MAKERS, AND THE JAM THEY ARE MOST KNOWN FOR... DISCO NIGHTS (TIMELESS!!) WAS CALLED "SOUL ON YOUR SIDE", WITH COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LYRICS.
HERES TRUSME DOING HIS FLIP OF OF SOUL ON YOUR SIDE. ENJOY !
