Trussel/Positive Express - Love Injection

Year : 1979/1982

A Paradise Garage Classic to finish this week. I serve you 2 versions of Love Injection, the original by Trussel on Elektra Records. Good to know that Trussel backed up Evelyn Champagne king on Shame. The Second version is by Positive Express, on the lp Changin Times released in 1982, hard to find in original. The Band Redd Hott is behind some titles. The trussel version is better to me, but give the other one a chance , Enjoy!

Musique Pub Love Chloé 2010

Année : 1982

Label : Emergency Records

Musique de la nouvelle pub Love de Chloé [Vidéo]

Ce n'est pas tous les jours qu'on entend de la Funk des années 80 à la télé, alors même si ce titre est loin d'être mon préféré, on ne va pas faire la fine bouche. Unique titre de Chemise, She Can't Love you est présent dans pas moins de 50 compilations différentes, étrangement aussi bien dans des compils très pointues que dans un magnifique volume de Mega Soleil.

Maxi très connu qui n'est pourtant pas du tout donné. Je vous sers ici la face B, ici la version instrumentale. Practice and enjoy!

Générique du Grand Journal de Canal + Octobre 2010 : Klique - I can't Shake This Feeling

Year : 1982

Label : Mca Records

J'aime bien les génériques du Grand Journal. Après le remix de Stevie Wonder - Superstition par Justice, voici un nouveau titre funky electro par Grum, avec le titre Can't Shake this feeling. checkons ensemble l'original.

Sorti en 1982 sur le label Mca Records, l'album Let's Wear It out est le meilleur de Klique. Composé par Howard Huntsberry, Deborah Hunter et Isaac Suthers, le trio de Los Angeles compte 4 albums à son actif, sortis entre 1981 et 1985. I Can't Shake This feeling est le plus connu de leur titre, mais ecoutez 3 autres morceaux de l'album ici avant de filer. Enjoy!

Klique - I Can't Shake This Feeling

The Shades of Love - Keep In Touch (Body to Body) [12 Inch Extended]

Year : 1982

Label : Venture Records, but first released on Scorpgemi Records

One of the numerous Patrick Adams production, some kind of early 80's production who sounds like a late 70's beat. The synth is here to show that the prod is really from 82. Vocals by Melissa Morgan, who is also Lady M. Enjoy!

The Shades of Love - Keep In Touch (Body to Body)

Original Sample : Rufus/Chicago - Street Player

Original Sample of :

Pitbull - I Know You Want Me (that Hurts a bit...)

The Bucketheads - "The Bomb"

Written by Danny Seraphine (original Drummer of the band Chicago) and David Wolinski (keyboard for Chicago and then for Rufus). Once again, the most famous version is from Chicago (whom the sample is taken from ) but Rufus sang the track first in 1978.

I'm still looking for the Special promo copy remix of Street Player with the killer Intro that you can listen here. By the way, the cover of the 12 is the european press.

Enjoy those 2 tracks, absolutely Disco for Chicago and more Jazz/funk for Rufus.
