and the Stones version.....a great cover by them
Sonic,,,i have this album in my collection....i bought this in real time as a young teenager......sometimes Charlie Watts doesnt get the props as he deserved as a solid drummer
Amazing - I queued up her 1969 'I'm Just a Prisoner' for a spin tomorrow. As for the last 2 minutes - ......'you are my one and only'......that gets me all the time
- no mater where I hear it.She's so gorgeous in this video. Haven't heard this tune in a while thanks Buck.
Here's some nostalgia. Rewind back to 1999/2000. I was transitioning from a finance career to accounting because I hated the schmucks and phonies I was working/socializing with. This was my ride at the time - a 1999 Honda Prelude SH
I scrapped the factory sound system and put in a 450W aftermarket system with equalizer and box speaker. If my memory serves me correctly it cost me around $2.5K at the time. Heading uptown on Yonge Street for a meeting one day and stuck in traffic, I threw on The Art of Storytelling LP by Slick Rick. It was a comeback album for him and to this day I bump it more than his groundbreaking 1988 LP 'The Great Adventures of Slick Rick'. So I'm playing the album and I skip to this track
"Impress the Kid"
The bass was pumping, the sun was shining, I was getting looks from honeys galore. 26 years old and in my prime. Damn I loved that car. Sold it the next year to an Asian dude in Scarborough for way more than I should have gotten for it. They just wanted it to do the mods.

A classic underground electrofunk/dance tune from 1982
"Cavern" by Liquid Liquid
The bassline sampled so epically the next year by Grandmaster Flash for
"White Lines (Don't Do It)
Fast forward 16 years its 1999 and Mobb Deep drops this gem.
"Quiet Storm"
Producer Havoc isolates and slows the tempo of the same bassline. So dope!

"Quiet Storm"
Candi has a vast catalogue of music
another "rocker' to explore....Id Rather Be An Old Mans Sweetheart
and if you are in a mellow quiet place try these 2 ballads...How Can I put Out The Flame......and He Called Me Baby
no autotune, no techy stuff, real musical instruments....most important , raw and genuine energy and emotion
sorry...when it comes to Candi, I get carried away lol
1999 was my highest earnings year in my career. I was pulling in stupid amounts of cash basically just being a kiss ass artist. But it wasn't for me. So in the fall of 1999 I started my accounting career at a small CA firm in midtown Toronto. Best decision I ever made. Ya that car was fun and helped get me laid a few times. That car still fetches good money on the auction sites.
First time hearing this one, just came across my feed this morning. Damn that bass slaps.
Early 80's jammer. Its got that Kashif sound but its not him on production.
This is one of my favorite 80's R&B jams. So smooth
"Happy" by Surface
What originally put me onto this song was this Trackmasters (Poke & Tone) production for R. Kelly aka Prisoner #48312
