I don't think this one charted but it should have. Earlier Lou Rawls from the 60's.

This sounds like it could be a TV show theme song.

I completely forgot about this remix of one of my absolute favorite Public Enemy songs. The JMJ Telephone Tap Groove from the Greatest Misses album. JMJ of course is Jam Master Jay 1/3 of the rap group Run DMC. He rarely did remixes but he hit this one out of the park

Tribute to Jam Master Jay one of the best hip hop DJ's of all time.

Didn't Roberta Flack record this song? Saw her at Ontario Place years ago.

Close but Flack's song was called 'Killing Me Softly', a stone cold classic. The Fugees did a remake of Roberta's song years later.

Came across this tune last night for the very first time. Definitely a vibe. Millie Scott's 'Ev'ry Little Bit'

 

[K Douglas]

Classic duet. Jermaine produced this too.

a gold nugget....as soulful as it gets...by a singer that flew under the radar,,,but one of my personal favs....i have 2 singles in my collection..this and Oh No Not My Baby, but i have some CD compilations featuring some of her stuff

 

[Pleasure Hound]

Not a fan of rap, but when I first heard this...perfection....

Flea (later of the RHCP) played the bass....

 

[Pleasure Hound]

This song is perfection.....

That's like an extended remix version of Bust a Move. Classic joint from the late 80's. A great time for rap/hip hop because a lot of what was coming out at that time was party oriented.

Fats Waller - Buckin' The Dice

Before tape recording, so the take had to be perfect the first time....

 

[Pleasure Hound]

Oooh. Another good one....

 

[Pleasure Hound]

Blues legend Big Leon Brooks.....

Finally, Beau Jocques - Zydeco Legend....
