Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis produced the bouncy danceable hit title track (similar in groove to Zapp's "More Bounce to the Ounce"), as well as the serene, atmospheric "Say You Love Me Again" and "You Are My Melody"; all can be found on Very Best of Change. The bulk of the album was written and produced by Timmy Allen, including the charting follow-up, the sly and funky "It Burns Me Up," and the quirky "Lovely Lady."

A "here's-some-music-that's-influenced-us" mix, the 11th entry in the LATE NIGHT TALES series is an eclectic album compiled by the English folk-pop duo Turin Brakes. There's a mellow, downtempo vibe here, and a good bit of variety, with the likes of Chris Whitley and Gillian Welch sequenced alongside Talk Talk, Grant Green, J.J. Cale, and Silver Jews. Turin Brakes make a musical appearance with a cover of the Rolling Stones' "Moonlight Mile," which fits nicely into this blissfully low-key 17-song set.

2018 two CD collection. This updated collection of Chuck Brown's hits replaces The Best of Chuck Brown and includes seven tracks not previously available and twelve tracks not on the previous Best Of, all remastered for this definitive collection. Chuck Brown created Washington DC's Go-Go sound in the early '70s and scored his biggest hit with Bustin' Loose in 1978, sampled in Nelly's smash 'Hot in Herre' in 2002.

Playing in front of an invited studio audience, Dr. John is featured with a full-scale jazz ensemble on this 1991 session Funky New Orleans. Alto saxophonist Donald Harrison Jr. is the leader of the date, which allows Dr. John to concentrate not only on piano and vocals but also his guitar playing. A hand full of Mac Rebennack and Harrison originals are mixed with the dirty blues of "Shave em Dry" and a nod to Professor Longhair and Earl King on "Big Chief." Also, two instrumental straight-ahead jazz pieces are explored on "Hu-Ta-Nay" and "Walkin Home." This really isn't a Dr. John recording as much as an honest portrayal of these (mainly) New Orleans musicians in an extremely loose and funky setting. Recommended and available on the budget Metro label.

From The Deep is the 2016 album by The Heliocentrics, fronted by drummer Malcolm Catto. This is a conceptual album where he and his "mates" explore the outer limits of ones own, in a funky and jazzy manner with a slice of exotica and soundtrackian thrown in. The truth of the matter is Now-Again.

In addition to singing she also performs vihuela, guitar, piano and programs drums.

"Finder of Lost Loves" is an album recorded by Dionne Warwick, her sixth for the Arista label. It was recorded during 1984 and was released in early 1985. The album peaked at #106 on the Billboard albums chart. The LP was originally issued as number AL8-8262 in the Arista Catalog. In some non-US territories, including the UK, Japan and Australia, the album was released under the title "Without Your Love". The album reunited Warwick with Burt Bacharach for the first time in over a decade.

Viva Soul is the 1968 album by The Harvey Averne Dozen. Released on Atlantic, this album features covers of songs by The Beatles and The Mamas & The Papas plus original composition. Averne is still considered one of the best pianists and vibraharpists of our time, who brought in vocalist Kenny Seymour to help him and his band in these sessions. This is taken from the Japanese CD released in 2000.

An innovator and a musical genius bar none, Prince nevertheless took huge influence, both before and during his musical career, from the music, production and compositions of others. He was of course well versed in jazz, soul, R n B, funk and black music generally from an early age, but garnered a fully eclectic taste which was equally informed by Joni Mitchell and Todd Rundgren as it was by James Brown and George Clinton. This collection features 16 tracks which Prince highlighted as being influential during his career, performed cover versions of, or ranked the artists responsible as inspirational and important in his own work.

Eric Kupper Remixes are OUTSTANDING on the remix album. Then you add Chris Cox & StoneBridge Remix to the mix, we get a #1 Dance Club for 2018. It's her 2nd #1 in less then 6 months.

I Still Can't Get Over Loving You was the lead single from his 1983 Woman Out Of Control album and it reached number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1984. It was Parker's fifth Top 20 hit, the sixth being 1984's Ghostbusters. The song is an up-tempo ballad with electronic instruments. The lyrics are about lost love, with close similarities to The Police's Every Breath You Take, at one point even borrowing the lines ''Every breath you take, I'll be watching you.'' I Still Can't Get Over Loving You ranked number 77 on Billboard's Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1984. Includes original album remastered from the original master tape and 1 bonus track.

An astonishing record of James and the Flames tearing the roof off the sucker at the mecca of R&B theatres, New York's Apollo. When King Records owner Syd Nathan refused to fund the recording, thinking it commercial folly, Brown single-mindedly proceeded anyway, paying for it out of his own pocket. He had been out on the road night after night for a while, and he knew that the magic that was part and parcel of a James Brown show was something no record had ever caught. Hit follows hit without a pause – "I'll Go Crazy," "Try Me," "Think," "Please Please Please," "I Don't Mind," "Night Train," and more. The affirmative screams and cries of the audience are something you've never experienced unless you've seen the Brown Revue in a Black theater. If you have, I need not say more; if you haven't, suffice to say that this should be one of the very first records you ever own.

Stevie Wonder was born in Saginaw, Michigan, in 1950, the third of six children of Calvin Judkins and Lula Mae Hardaway, a songwriter. He was born six weeks premature which, along with the oxygen-rich atmosphere in the hospital incubator, resulted in retinopathy of prematurity, a condition in which the growth of the eyes is aborted and causes the retinas to detach; so he became blind. When Wonder was four, his mother divorced his father and moved to Detroit with her children. She changed her name back to Lula Hardaway and later changed her son's surname to Morris, partly because of relatives.
