THEN PLEASE
THIS IS NOT A MONEY MAKING EXERCISE
IT HAS BEEN DONE PURELY FOR
THE LOVE OF MUSIC
AND WE ARE HAVING AN ABSOLUTE BLAST
BELOW YOU WILL FIND LINKS TO THE FEATURED ARTISTS ALONG WITH BASIC NOTES EXPLAINING MUSICAL CHOICES AND INSPIRATIONS
EASILY PERSUADED - MARTHA & THE VANDELLAS
Top notch Motown Gold from Martha Reeves.
This would probably prove too expensive to use for a film Soundtrack, unless used as the signature title track. So opening up
MEECHSPLOITATION THE 3RD : EASILY PERSUADED, to use the full title.
GROOVIN' FOR MR. G - RICHARD GROOVE HOLMES
I think the Beastie Boys may have been all over this already.
I bet you're not expecting anything quite like this, it still surprises me every time, and I know it's coming. This Funk driven bagpipe formula is quite unusual, and I'm very upset not to have included it on any of my "very" mixed genre efforts.
MOON RAPPIN' - BROTHER JACK McDUFF
After the Opening/Chase/Scene Setting music comes the "Doing Things" music, usually on the trail/making enquiries type of split screen activity.
WOULD YOU BELIEVE IN ME - JON LUCIEN
About time to bring back a more traditional song structure, thanks to this golden throated Soul crooner.
Interesting vocal technique, Mr Alexander. I wonder if this is a one off, or the norm in his back catalogue?
Time to use a very obscure Only Fools and Horses gag, "you can say that again".
FUNKIER THAN A MOSQUITO'S TWEETER - NINA SIMONE
This is pretty special.
I thought I'd look up to find out just what a mosquito's tweeter is, and I wish I hadn't now.
SOUL VIBRATIONS - DOROTHY ASHBY
I'm getting pretty good vibrations out of this.
Quite pleased to be incorporating a harp based recording, after including bagpipes above.
Back on track.
This is from an actual fim Soundtrack Hell Up In Harlem ('73), which also features my cover star Geoffrey Holder, along with Gloria Hendry and Julius Harris who also all feature in Live And Let Die of the same year.
HIKKY BURR (FEAT. BILL COSBY) - QUINCY JONES
Always good to include a bit of Quincy.
However, now that the conviction has been overturned, I suppose there is no longer a stigma attached to Mr. Huxtable?🤔
YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN THE WAY - ANDY BEY
This album came to my attention when putting together P MINUS ONE, my first Space themed mix at the start of 2019. I'd encourage anyone who may be reading this to click the link above to see just what jumped out at me.
Echoing the kind of music you may hear out by that big red lump of rock on that larger lump of rock in the Southern Hemisphere.
WELCOME NEW WARMTH - MICHEL SARDABY
Replacing the dramatic tension of the Outback, with.......this.
The much sampled September 13th. Not sure of the significance, but it is a rather cool sounding date. Better than....say, March 22nd?
COOTIE BOOGALOO - RUSTY BRYANT
This conjures up hilarious images in my head of a former colleague getting down to the serious Jazz groove. If you ever get to listen to this C, I give you permission to get down.
WHO'S MAKING LOVE - LOU DONALDSON
I assume this is the original version of the track covered on The Blues Brothers Made In America album.
AM I BLACK ENOUGH FOR YOU? - BILLY PAUL
I was holding off using this, but had to draft it in at the last minute to replace a track I'd mistakenly doubled up. Much has been written about this particular song, there is even a feature length documentary that is well worth checking out...
Am I Black Enough For You ('09).
I'd always intended to feature this on the future
AM I MEECH ENOUGH FOR YOU?, but quite happy with how this runs.
Nearing conclusion with this nearing conclusion style track.
STRUNG OUT - GORDON STAPLES & THE MOTOWN STRINGS
Time for a dramatic finale.
If this relied heavily on the horn section instead of violins, would it then have to go by the name of Brassed Out?
Closing titles.
I'm sure I recognize this from one of the Prince band Instrumental sections.
