INSTANT FUNK

Welcome to a true boogie classic... found on the B side of a much loved 12" and sung by the extraordinary Bunny Sigler, I have always felt this had a certain something to move the floor, it's less played and as such has the wow factor every time... appreciated by the connoisseur and the layman alike it packs a well written beat from the off and when the guitar break kicks in it lifts the track to a level where 'BOOGIE' is the only description for what it becomes.... Like all good boogie it has a section where you you wonder what was going on in the recording studio.... and just as this registers on the brain... Back comes the boogie to Slap, Slap and Lickady Lap your body!!!! Thank you Instant Funk.

Boogie D'amour

Now this is special. The definition of seduction, a true shiver giver. Just lay back and let those sweet vocals soothe you.

File under Lovers Boogie.

Syreeta- Move it do it

You're the one

It seems like a lot of boogie tunes are recorded by either one hit wonders or backing singers who have a couple of their own hits. Bez's selection of Jeanette Lady Day is a good example of the former, whilst mine is by Katie Kissoon, who is still to this day singing back-up for artists such as Robbie Williams and Van Morrison. Now to class her as just a back-up singer would be doing her a disservice. She had a number of slushy chart hits in the 70's when teamed up with her brother Mac. But she only recorded 3 tunes under her own name before returning to singing back-up to the likes of Wham and Eric Clapton.

I managed to track down a copy of this from a Dutch dealer at a reasonable price but don't think there are too many copies of this around. Big up the Beat Electric crew for turning me onto this one.

Katie Kissoon - You're The One (You're My Number One)

I'm a Lady

Round 4 is kicking off with Bez's latest selection. Here's what he has to say about it.

Continuing my preference for the lady vocals, this wonderful tune starts with a lady grunting and natty flute, need I say any more, it's gotta win just for that combo, if it doesn't win this round then next week I will post a tune containing James Galway grunting while playing his natty flute. You have been warned!

Jeanette Lady Day - Come Let Me Love You

Yeah it's me...

There's a lot to be said for letting someone down gradually when it's all over in a relationship. When your name is Sinnamon, you record the dumping conversation and put it on a boogie record. Callous and harsh you may say but it makes for one hell of a dancefloor burner and the winner of week 3 of the boogie off. Well in Bez for his 2nd winning entry. Might be time for the rest of the crew to pull up their socks before he starts to run away with the competition.

As a little bonus here's the instrumental version in its full 14 minute glory.

Sinnamon - Thanks to You (Instrumental)

The Beginning Vol 1 TI2TB

What can i say FINALLY, the Original mix including one of my favourite tunes of all time (Logg -Dancing into the stars) this is where it began the love affair which grows stronger the longer we stay together, ahaahaah sounds like a song?

All i can say i was another clubber getting bored with the same repetitive beats i was hearing in the clubs and still to this day!

then

David Kelly dragged me along to what was the second Boat Party what was i hearing rare groove disco funk house hip hop all mixed together i was in heaven thats when i fell in love with TI2TB.

I had met Bez,Jensen,Hudge,Rich, and Charlie a few years before the Boat Parties i couldn't say i knew them i knew of them one thing, i can say from my heart if ever they needed my help or a roof or pretty much anything i got your back.

It was and still is a pleasure.

My proudest moment and most nerve racking was my first and last set on the Boat.

An avid record buyers since the age of 11 and trust me all my family loves music, my 7th birthday 1978 was a Sound System Big Box speakers and a strange smell lingering in the air!.

I think that was when i first notice the power of music.

special thanks to Big Stef for the mint tape i will return it to you Peace TI2TB

You Saved My Day

Yo, Yo YO.... always late to the party.... I hope you all can forgive me my late entry.... ?? Anyway... was lucky enough to go and see a living legend... Mr Stevie Wonder... last night, it was a 'lifes long' dream fulfilled, and he is as good as I ever expected if not better... Whilst dancing around at an all-seater venue - upsetting my neighbours.... I realised Boogie cannot be postponed, you might only get one chance to do something or see someone, I felt the big man tell me... get up and do your boogie thing... so, late or not, this is how I felt yesterday, I was saved, my day returned to me full of positivity and joy.... Boogie classic or not, I hope Cheryl can save your day today!

CHERYL LYNN - YOU SAVED MY DAY.

Peace and enjoy - I actually don't care if I win this round.... BIG UP THE MAN LIKE STEVIE WONDER!!!
