CHUCK!!!!
He's my man, my mom used to play him constantely while I was growing. That's good stuff. Thanks for the lessons
Hi scholar, Tony here. I had to say thanks for that Colonel Bagshot. Great stuff! That's actually a very rare record. Saw it on e-bay a while back but it was out of my league. Always liked your site, but this has made you a hero.
Cheers.
Great picks, especially the Main Ingredient.
We need to collaborate on something. Seriously.
Also: feelings on Darien Brockington? Still warming to his tunes, but not bad so far.
Is it just me or does Lay Away sound a little like Honey Cone's "Want Ads"?
Travis---Wow...glad your blizzack. A post just isn't a post w/o your two cents.
Anyway, I wish my parents would have had the good sense to play me some Chuck. My mom likes Kenny G--be thankful.
Anon---I've never priced a vinyl copy, but I'm sure the song has been comped a time or two. Definitely an interesting track.
JT---You know I'm always down for a collaboration---I liked that idea you wrote to me about a while back. I was already plotting to recruit you for a guest spot, so maybe this is good timing.
I haven't listened to enough of Darien's stuff to form a solid opinion. I like his voice, but most contemporary R&B is a tough sell with me. That might be sort of unfair, but I stand by my old school bias.
soulpeeps---I had never thought of it that way, but I can see some similarity. "Lay Away" is a really nice song, but I don't think it's particularly groundbreaking or unique.
great selection as per usual. And I echo the above about Colonel Bagshot -- so cool to have this track. Also love the Mos Def remix -- which, of course i had already. But not so w/ the Honey Cone track smapled on "Testify" -- one of the best from Be.
Kinda have mixed feelings about Chuck Mangione -- some of his worst stuff really isn't all that many steps away from Kenny G. Had to smile when I saw the Gary Wright, though. Had no idea about that 3rd Base sample.
--cheers
Scholar, you know I'm always checking you! It's been hetic, but I always check the site out.
Scholar -- hit me up anytime and we'll make something happen. I have a few more [read: better] ideas up my sleeve, and I wanna hear what yr thinking too.
Matt---Chuck definitely has some material that doesn't hold much appeal for me, but it's nearly impossible to avoid his name when discussing the history of sampling. I was floored when I realized how many artists have borrowed his stuff---it's practically an epidemic. I like him more than Kenny G simply because he doesn't rock an afro-mullet.
Travis---I'm guilty of the same w/ WYDU---check you out daily, but sometimes on the fly. Just good to know when you're around.
JT---Looking forward to another collabo---I'll hit your inbox very soon.
great collection, scholar- stay up.
RIP, Luther Ingram

Dude accomplished more than "If Loving You is Wrong..." though that ain't too shabby either.
