Get Wid It
Hey Uh
In the 70s, the Portland, Oregon, group Pleasure may have been ahead of its time with its jazzy funk. During the same time, in the same town, the Jeff Lorber Fusion was breaking ground with its own funky brand of jazz. In.
more » the 90s, the old friends hooked up for this recording, which sounds as fresh as if they d recorded it yesterday. Lorber fans will love tracks featuring then-rising stars like trumpeter Chris Botti and the late saxophonist Art Porter, but it s the timeless funk of the boys from Pleasure that dominate here with red-hot grooves on Enjoy Yourself, We Got To Live Together, the title track, and Roy Ayers s Hey Uh. Lorber contributes mightily with Get Wid It, a dynamic example of his early keyboard style, but guitarist Marlon McLain and bassist Nathaniel Phillips, with the help of vocalist Terry Stanton of Hidden Beach Unwrapped, truly funk things up.

Terry is a retired English solicitor living in NSW with his wife Christine. This is Terry’s second novel, his first ‘Deliver me from Evil’ is about the real 17

Was the plane hijacked or did the pilot commit suicide? Did it crash somewhere?

Dusty Springfield’s soul credentials were firmly established when, in April 1965, she co-devised and presented a special edition of the TV pop show Ready Steady Go! dedicated to the thrilling music coming out of Detroit. Subtitled The Sounds Of Motown, it gave key UK exposure to the likes of The Supremes, Temptations, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and Smokey Robinson. The visitors’ British cheerleader also got to be a Vandella for the night, joining Martha Reeves and mates for lively renditions of Wishin’ And Hopin’ and Can’t Hear You No More. Yet Springfield’s own recorded output of the time remained rooted in more traditional pop melodrama. Occasional torch-like testifying numbers such as I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself hinted at something deeper or richer, but for the most part she plied her trade via orchestra-heavy bombast (All I See Is You, I Close My Eyes And Count To Ten, and her sole chart-topper You Don�
