CAMEO : IT'S SERIOUS

Another rip of mine lately is this. Cameo. Larry Blackmon & crew at their peak. "It's serious" is a disco funk nugget with an infectious bass line, demoniac guitar licks, infamous organ shots, and ... and ... A floor filler by vocation, a pure party track in its essence ...

THE STAPLE SINGERS : SLIPPERY PEOPLE




I was ripping this for my man Bernard who needed it and I thought I had to share this extraordinaire song from The Staple Singers. Originaly recorded by The Talking Heads, this version remains close to the original with a little "je ne sais quoi" that adds a value. Mavis Staple kills it on the vocal tip. Perfect for a dancefloor as well as for your listening pleasure.
