Third World - "Now That We've Found Love"

Third World - A crossover reggae/ Top 40 band with fabulous rhythm, tight harmony. They are one of my favorite reggae groups, because 1) they are not too hard core; 2) you can't help but sing along to the refrains in their songs; and, 3) it is apparent that there is quite a bit of the Gamble and Huff (writers for the Stylistics and the Spinners) lurking in their material, arrangements, and production. This is a great song: "Now That We've Found Love."

Despite the musical challenges I face being a middle-aged white guy, Third World gets to me. Listen to some of their other songs such as:

Reggae Ambassador
Try Jah Love 
Dancing On the Floor 

For now, enjoy "Now That We've Found Love."

There is a bonus picture at the very end of this post. I don't charge for these. Yet.

David Sanborn - "The Dream"

Share this ARTICLE with your colleagues on LinkedIn .

David Sanborn is my favorite sax soloist -- he breathes music. He is soulful, limitless, endlessly imaginative, magically spontaneous, profoundly emotional. A Great song. This is a live, in concert, version of "The Dream." His sax cries, it screams...and it sings. It is rare that I have been so taken with an instrumental.

Another fan commented on this same YouTube video:

"David Sanborn is THE TRUTH.

The way he ad-libbed on this was even more fluid than what he did on record. I wish he would've recorded this version instead! I like the name of the song, because I've always likened David's music to surrealism (as in the painting style). And surrealism is very dreamy. So the title is fitting. The melodies he comes up with are akin to melodies that are conjured up in my mind when I'm sleeping. I'm a composer, and I would love to put my dreams into music. "

Enjoy this. Let it nourish your dreams. Let it free your mind from its imposed parameters for a short while. - D

Clint Holmes - "The Playground In My Mind"

Share this ARTICLE with your colleagues on LinkedIn .

Have you no shame? I don't. Singer Clint Holmes didn't when he released it in 1973. If you find this song catchy, you're not alone -- there are special clubs and programs for people like us.

Once, while having lunch at a Japanese hibachi-style retaurant, my girlfriend and I shared a table with the very same kid (in his early twenties at the time of our encounter) who actually sang the refrain about "My Name Is Michael..." I didn't get his autograph. But then, he didn't get mine either.

Enjoy this. Nobody has to know.

The Spinners (Return!), with "It's A Shame" - Time for an Endorphin Rush!

Share this ARTICLE with your colleagues on LinkedIn .

"It's A Shame", "I'll Be Around" and "One of a Kind Love Affair" were three of the Spinners' first and most powerfully arranged and orchestrated hits. The Spinners had a Motown-Philly soul mix in their richly-orchestrated sound, their choreography and energy were together and tight (yet natural), and, along with the Stylistics, they were a Gamble and Huff - influenced, 70's -dominating soul group on the fringe of the Dazz era.

Stevie Wonder wrote "It's a Shame" just for them, and he played (overdubbing) all of the instruments except for the horns on the original hit recording.

Enjoy "It's a Shame" by clicking on the link or clicking on the video player below. As a special bonus, I've also added several links (no videos) to some of my favorite Spinners' songs. You'll want to bookmark this article (for a great collection of music) and to either subscribe to the RSS or Email feed from this site. While you're playing, you might even make RadioDAZZ a favorite.
