WEE :: 70s MODERN SOUL

One of my favorite 70s Modern Soul Album. So pure, So sweet.

Columbus Ohio Soul, from Norman Whiteside. His lone album, under the pseudonym Wee, is firmly ensconced in Innervisions-era Stevie Wonder, with nary a trace of his work as a writer for Bill Moss’ Capsoul label a few years prior. Smooth, sexy, and synthy, You Can Fly On My Aeroplane is a peerless sprawling psychedelic soul concept album. The original nine song LP has been expanded to nineteen, including seven previously unreleased panty soakers. Lovers rejoice.

WEE - I WANT TO SHOW YOU 1977

PATTI & THE LOVELITES

Formed at a Chicago High School back in 1967 led by Patti Hamilton, the group was made up of Hamilton and her sister Rozena Petty and their friend Barbara Peterman. Hamilton was not only the trio’s lead vocalist but also its main song writer and the force behind the group’s success.

LEON WARE

Sorry for delaying on the blog people. I've been really busy working on new projects, plus my Happy Hour "Haight & Soul" Fridays has been taking some of my spare time. I've noticed a large amount of traffic already this year, and I thank all of you who continue to read this blog. THANK YOU!!!!!

If we've recently met this track goes out to you. Sorry I'm bad with names.

This situation calls for some "Leon Ware" and the title says it all

ALIF TREE = MOODYMANN REMIX

ANOTHER SLEEPER...

Moodymann delivers a stellar remix here, taking the original downtempo jam and turning it into a broken jazz house cut. The theme of "Forgotten Places" is re-imagined as a tale about Detroit, a city abandoned in many ways after the 12th Street riot in 1967. Kenny Dixon himself adds vocals, shouting out streets, neighborhoods (including Black Bottom, a black neighborhood demolished in order for Interstate 75 to be constructed) and famous figures from the city of Detroit, even namechecking Buy-Rite records, the small record shop that once employed Rick Wilhite and himself and was one of the underappreciated centers of techno out on 7 Mile. A fantastic deep ode to black Detroit!

DIGGING AT MOM'S HOUSE

LYRICS:

Don�t look now, we�re branded, we�re the black sheep
Sewn apart and Siamese � the black sheep
When the water seems too deep
The shadows always wait beneath
But laughing loud we brave the role of black sheep

If you see me you�ll be crossing the street
Or kick me and then leave me to bleed
If looks could kill wouldn�t need all the pills
But I take what it needs to be easy we're the black
sheep now

Don�t look now, we�re stranded here as black sheep
Swallowed whole and out of reach � the black sheep
Unsafe enough for now
We�re shepherded from higher ground
But drowned all out we save the role of black sheep

If you see me you�ll be crossing the street
Or kick me and then leave me to bleed
If looks could kill wouldn�t need all the pills
But I take what it needs to be easy we're the black
sheep now

LPSD "BACK ACHA"

BAHAMADIA "TOTAL WRECK" - DIRTY

This is a classic for me when I was just a youth. It came out in 94 and I heard it first on z90 here in San Diego. The dj was Kutfather and I didn't know him at the time, but i've been not only lucky enough to meet the man himself but he's came through to check my dj set's here and now (Watch out for Kutfather joining me at The Office Bar SOON). That show (I forgot the name) included Hip-Hop, Reggae & Dancehall & has influenced me in many ways. I still remember hearing Jeru's "come clean", Bahamadia's "total wreck", Sister Nancy's "Bam Bam", LPSD "back acha" for the first time on this show. Thank you Kutfather.

I recently attended the San Diego Record Show & came home with the 12" of this Bahamadia Gem . . . Come with me on a trip down memory lane:
BAHAMADIA "TOTAL WRECK" (DIRTY VERSION)

Full Moon

so the break down in the beginning of this was much too much for me to mix and or listen to. good for the early set. Got the kings of House & Hip-Hop on one joint you can't go wrong. But the video is kinda wack.

One of my favorite late 90's joints, I ripped the 12" the other day & now you lazy asses have a copy. If you got the green vinyl like me, then now you get to throw it away or sell it for a nickel.
